Plastic particles are now being found inside of newborn babies. It’s time to turn off the plastic tap! In the news this week Patti and Doug talk about endocrine-disrupting BPA chemicals in baby pacifiers, the incredible health benefits of eating oatmeal, and President Trump’s executive order spurring production of the cancer-causing chemical glyphosate. Then Dr. Marcus Garcia of the University of New Mexico talks about his work in the lab discovering microplastics in human placentas, what it may mean for health later in life, and how we really need to find ways to curb the production and consumption of plastic.
