Josh Chapman wanted to take a break from tech for a moment to write this quick blog about the ongoing threat from plastics in food and the air, especially in urban environments. There are steps you can take to lower your exposure to these plastics which could save your life.
Check out this snip clip of a video from Dr. Rhonda Patrick.
This information I am sharing with you about microplastics and nanoplastics in the brain is “emerging science” and is not well known by the overall population, yet. However, the evidence is staggering. There’s more than a 50% increase in plastic found in the brains of autopsies in 2024 compared to 2016. There’s also a correlation of increased use of plastics in the food industry in the past decade. Here’s another study with more evidence.
These plastics and other chemicals that surround the manufacturing and delivery of plastics are single-handedly causing Parkinson’s, dementia, autism, Alzheimer’s, and other neurological diseases by bypassing the blood-brain barrier according to Josh Chapman’s research.
One thing to remember is that there are two primary ways that plastics enter the human body. Number one is heating food in plastic such as microwaving in Tupperware or another plastic. It’s probably not a good idea to order hot takeout food in a plastic container! The other way is airborne plastic. One thing you might notice is that polyester clothing can breakdown from use over time and friction can create airborne plastic you then breathe in.
Try starting small by switching your drinking bottle to an all metal container. And install a Reverse Osmosis system in your home.
