Summary
Our food and water supply is besieged by plastic, and depending on how these products are packaged, processed, and heated, the effect of microplastics on our health can vary widely. We know they're not good for us, but how worried should we be? Chuck and Dr. B break down what we know, and start building a case for reducing microplastics in our gut, blood, and brains. The good news: Brand new research from Australia shows that we can reduce the microplastics in our body by as much as 60% if we make these relatively simple lifestyle changes.
