The Truth About Microplastics

WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.110
Pass this on to friends.

00:00:01.110 --> 00:00:12.467
If you've been trying to eliminate plastic in your life and you have a friend or family member who is just really, you know, determined to not give up their single use plastic bottles, you know, pass this episode on.

00:00:13.333 --> 00:00:17.123
I'm Dr Tina Kaczor and as Leah likes to say I'm the science-y one

00:00:17.315 --> 00:00:19.984
and I'm Dr Leah Sherman and on the cancer inside

00:00:20.957 --> 00:00:24.827
And we're two naturopathic doctors who practice integrative cancer care

00:00:25.086 --> 00:00:27.036
But we're not your doctors

00:00:42.051 --> 00:01:00.456
Welcome to the cancer pod Hey, Tina.

00:01:00.786 --> 00:01:01.216
Hey, Leah.

00:01:01.595 --> 00:01:03.006
Microplastics.

00:01:03.176 --> 00:01:05.256
They're everywhere in the news.

00:01:06.004 --> 00:01:08.004
Yeah, I was going to say they're everywhere in every sense of the word.

00:01:08.364 --> 00:01:09.134
No, they are.

00:01:09.134 --> 00:01:10.554
They're everywhere in the news.

00:01:10.563 --> 00:01:11.644
They're everywhere.

00:01:12.129 --> 00:01:13.519
Everywhere.

00:01:13.718 --> 00:01:14.218
Yeah.

00:01:14.399 --> 00:01:14.649
Yeah.

00:01:14.649 --> 00:01:17.969
It, it's finally hitting main street news.

00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:23.209
I think it's been in the news before, but just not hitting mass media until fairly recently.

00:01:23.620 --> 00:01:32.799
Well, as you had mentioned before we started recording, there was that whole thing with the plastic fibers from fleece clothing.

00:01:32.810 --> 00:01:36.150
Like I remember that from like, is that like 10 years ago or something?

00:01:36.459 --> 00:01:58.310
Yeah, I think we heard about it because, um, Patagonia, the brand, Patagonia, saw the problem with washing some of the fleece fibers and the nanoplastics that were coming off of that and going into our environment and started to try to solve for the problem, so I think that they were the first company that I know of, kind of, said, okay, we're going forward.

00:01:58.310 --> 00:01:59.859
We're going to try to solve this problem.

00:02:00.019 --> 00:02:07.329
And you see it, you see it, like if you have fleece blankets or fleece clothing and, you know, I'll run them through the dryer on low.

00:02:07.329 --> 00:02:12.020
And then you see all of that lint that comes off of them in the dryer.

00:02:12.219 --> 00:02:15.159
And so what's coming off in the wash.

00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:15.770
Right.

00:02:16.060 --> 00:02:17.330
That's what you can see.

00:02:17.569 --> 00:02:19.919
And a lot of these plastics we cannot see.

00:02:19.969 --> 00:02:20.379
Right.

00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:22.430
So what is a microplastic?

00:02:22.430 --> 00:02:25.830
Like, I guess we can define What is that exactly?

00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:31.729
Cause I'm seeing those fibers in my lint tray, but are those microplastics?

00:02:32.145 --> 00:02:36.835
Technically, if they're less than five millimeters in length, they qualify as a microplastic.

00:02:37.335 --> 00:02:37.775
So

00:02:38.014 --> 00:02:38.735
That's big.

00:02:38.995 --> 00:02:39.324
That's big.

00:02:40.055 --> 00:02:45.025
It's big! Five millimeters is the size of the eraser head.

00:02:45.155 --> 00:02:48.707
Like a number two pencil, like the eraser is five millimeters, generally.

00:02:48.842 --> 00:02:51.983
Oh, that's what you judge like the size of a melanoma by too, right?

00:02:51.983 --> 00:02:52.652
The eraser?

00:02:53.052 --> 00:02:53.643
Yes.

00:02:53.983 --> 00:02:55.112
That's really big.

00:02:55.423 --> 00:02:59.612
And a lot of folks, if you're too young and you don't know what a number two pencil is, you can look it up and Google that.

00:02:59.673 --> 00:03:00.223
Oh, come on.

00:03:00.223 --> 00:03:00.703
People know.

00:03:00.703 --> 00:03:01.652
Here, look, here's a pencil.

00:03:01.652 --> 00:03:04.883
I don't think people use them all that much anymore, but yes.

00:03:05.483 --> 00:03:07.423
Anyways, we digress.

00:03:07.752 --> 00:03:12.812
But yes, it's anything that is less than five millimeters in length.

00:03:12.823 --> 00:03:14.263
So yes, you can see some of those.

00:03:14.272 --> 00:03:15.453
Those are microplastics.

00:03:15.772 --> 00:03:16.752
And then there's the.

00:03:18.437 --> 00:03:18.948
Nanoplastic.

00:03:18.978 --> 00:03:19.758
Yes.

00:03:20.397 --> 00:03:26.450
Now nano, by definition is something that is one times 10 to the negative nine.

00:03:26.721 --> 00:03:27.830
So that's point.

00:03:28.010 --> 00:03:29.661
Put eight zeros and put a one.

00:03:29.811 --> 00:03:30.920
That's how small it is.

00:03:31.221 --> 00:03:31.700
Millimeters.

00:03:31.850 --> 00:03:32.510
That's crazy.

00:03:32.510 --> 00:03:39.600
So that article that I sent you from the Washington Post had a really cool visual and we'll put a link to that.

00:03:40.050 --> 00:03:41.610
Um, if people haven't seen it.

00:03:42.075 --> 00:03:49.466
It had a really great visual that showed how incredibly small these micro and nanoplastics are.

00:03:49.716 --> 00:03:55.306
And it's confusing because we talk about microns and then we talk about millimeters and they're not equivalent.

00:03:55.346 --> 00:03:57.066
So it gets confusing really fast.

00:03:57.086 --> 00:04:01.066
Just know that we're talking about plastics that the eye cannot see.

00:04:01.066 --> 00:04:03.996
That is a fraction of the diameter of a hair.

00:04:04.616 --> 00:04:07.596
So by definition, some of these are just not visible.

00:04:08.996 --> 00:04:17.225
And the reason we're talking about it is because there have been articles on microplastics and you know, how they're finding them in different organs.

00:04:17.276 --> 00:04:24.485
And there was an article that was fairly recent about is there a connection between microplastics and cancer?

00:04:24.636 --> 00:04:33.430
I think really the big thrust that's hitting the news right now is it's a possible factor in why we're seeing higher rates.

00:04:33.805 --> 00:04:36.345
of colorectal cancers in younger people.

00:04:36.584 --> 00:04:36.944
Right.

00:04:37.125 --> 00:04:38.314
The story adds up.

00:04:38.454 --> 00:04:40.134
I mean, it makes a lot of sense.

00:04:40.185 --> 00:04:42.435
Yeah, we were all raised on plastic.

00:04:42.435 --> 00:04:50.685
I mean I remember like the shift from glass shampoo bottles to plastic shampoo bottles when I was a little kid, you know, and all the plastic toys.

00:04:50.685 --> 00:04:58.245
And I mean, these are safety features, which is why they were put in place, but it's kind of coming around to not be safe.

00:04:58.485 --> 00:04:58.855
Yeah.

00:04:58.855 --> 00:05:02.524
And the idea that plastics aren't safe isn't a new idea at all.

00:05:02.564 --> 00:05:09.274
I think we just happen to have the technology in the last 20 years or so to see them, right?

00:05:09.334 --> 00:05:10.314
They've always been there.

00:05:10.595 --> 00:05:11.764
They were there in the 70s.

00:05:11.814 --> 00:05:17.045
They were there in the 60s when we started using plastics more and more and they started to be more pervasive in our environment.

00:05:17.595 --> 00:05:18.944
But now we can see them.

00:05:18.985 --> 00:05:19.975
We can measure them.

00:05:20.154 --> 00:05:22.194
We can look at organs and tissues the bloodstream.

00:05:22.204 --> 00:05:25.064
and we can actually measure them and that's fairly new.

00:05:25.605 --> 00:05:28.154
That's just because we have the technology now to do that.

00:05:28.425 --> 00:05:38.105
And the plastics aren't just coming from, I mean, a lot of them are coming from things like disposable, you know, single use water bottles and all of that, um, takeout containers, right?

00:05:38.125 --> 00:05:45.435
With a, yes, I cringe every time I see styrofoam because styrofoam is so rare in at least the Portland area.

00:05:45.845 --> 00:05:46.714
Very rare.

00:05:46.754 --> 00:05:51.064
But then it was rare when I was back here in the nineties here, we didn't see a whole lot of styrofoam.

00:05:51.475 --> 00:05:51.774
I went.

00:05:52.204 --> 00:05:55.704
Down to Oklahoma to do my residency and it was styrofoam everywhere

00:05:55.805 --> 00:06:07.528
yeah, like Indiana was the same I remember being in the airport and wanting food and it was like this hot greasy like, you know airport food that was gonna be put into a styrofoam container and I was like I'm not gonna eat

00:06:07.538 --> 00:06:25.973
and there's something to that, you know for a long time I also took some solace in the fact that it all if I just put water in the plastic It's probably not gonna have that much plastic into it You know, like it's different than putting hot soup or hot coffee into a styrofoam or plastic container To me, that was always like, Oh, gosh, that must leach something.

00:06:26.173 --> 00:06:28.283
Now even water bottles are implicated.

00:06:28.362 --> 00:06:43.213
Yeah, so it's those type of like I was saying, like the single use plastics, um, clothing, like we mentioned, the fleece clothing, which is made oftentimes from recycled water bottles, but then they themselves aren't that great.

00:06:43.793 --> 00:06:46.562
The plastic grocery bags or store bags.

00:06:46.973 --> 00:06:48.543
It's in agriculture.

00:06:48.903 --> 00:06:55.682
So to make something to make different fertilizers, kind of be almost time release, they use plastics.

00:06:55.882 --> 00:07:05.533
It's in organic fertilizers, because if you have cows that are eating things, drinking water, they're picking up plastic from the environment.

00:07:05.533 --> 00:07:07.372
I mean, it's just it's everywhere.

00:07:07.372 --> 00:07:08.403
It's so pervasive.

00:07:08.442 --> 00:07:09.512
It's kind of crazy.

00:07:09.663 --> 00:07:10.502
Yeah, yeah.

00:07:10.502 --> 00:07:12.343
And it can be a real downer to think about, right?

00:07:12.540 --> 00:07:16.610
It's kind of like environmental pollution in general can be a true downer.

00:07:16.812 --> 00:07:25.083
This ties into the last episode where we talked with Christina Marusik about the environmental impact on carcinogenesis.

00:07:25.523 --> 00:07:28.882
So Yeah, I mean, it's just, it's out there.

00:07:29.112 --> 00:07:31.333
Yeah, and there's a lot of things we can do.

00:07:31.862 --> 00:07:34.552
I mean, the good old reduce, reuse, recycle.

00:07:34.622 --> 00:07:37.333
We'll get into a little bit more specifics about what people can do.

00:07:37.610 --> 00:07:44.779
um, we had cups in our office and a patient came in and she said, I can't believe you have disposable cups.

00:07:45.459 --> 00:07:47.810
And I said, Oh, you know, it's a multi doctor office.

00:07:47.810 --> 00:07:49.370
I really had nothing to do with the front area.

00:07:49.370 --> 00:07:55.120
And I, but she said, you know, take it literally reduce first, reuse when you can and recycle if you must.

00:07:55.129 --> 00:07:56.879
And I was like, Oh, okay.

00:07:56.879 --> 00:07:57.189
Yeah.

00:07:57.240 --> 00:07:57.689
Good point.

00:07:57.699 --> 00:07:58.839
You know, I should be in that order.

00:07:59.149 --> 00:07:59.379
No.

00:07:59.379 --> 00:08:00.449
And that's, I like that.

00:08:00.459 --> 00:08:08.250
Like it's recycle if you must, like, because that as we'll talk about is also an issue with, um, recycling, but, um,

00:08:08.269 --> 00:08:09.110
has its own issues.

00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:09.699
Yeah.

00:08:10.199 --> 00:08:10.730
So.

00:08:11.019 --> 00:08:16.850
Is there strong evidence that microplastics are causing cancer?

00:08:16.889 --> 00:08:18.889
I think the evidence is accumulating.

00:08:19.050 --> 00:08:20.290
As are the microplastics.

00:08:20.699 --> 00:08:23.149
As are the microplastics and nanoplastics, yes.

00:08:23.459 --> 00:08:27.029
Um, I think as we continue to look, we're going to see it more and more.

00:08:27.029 --> 00:08:28.399
Right now we have a lot of animal data.

00:08:28.790 --> 00:08:38.690
to look at what happens to animals when they're exposed, what's happening to cells that are exposed within the animals when you give the animal cancer, does it affect the growth rate, all that stuff.

00:08:38.950 --> 00:08:47.259
Um, there is accumulating evidence that the microplastics and nanoplastics are actually possibly causative for some cancers.

00:08:47.259 --> 00:08:49.950
And I think the data is strongest for colorectal cancer right now.

00:08:50.370 --> 00:08:50.639
Right.

00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:56.169
Because they're finding people with inflammatory bowel disease have a higher amount of microplastics.

00:08:57.879 --> 00:08:59.009
Yeah, how about that?

00:08:59.202 --> 00:09:09.830
I am sure you looked at the same study I did that was the one in China, where they looked at people who had existing IBD, inflammatory bowel disease, which is Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis.

00:09:09.830 --> 00:09:14.341
And they looked at the stool of those folks compared to the stool of people who didn't have that condition.

00:09:14.751 --> 00:09:16.142
And 1.

00:09:16.182 --> 00:09:20.861
5 times more microplastics were found in the people who had IBD.

00:09:21.241 --> 00:09:26.562
And the reason that's important is that IBD is a definitive risk factor for colorectal cancer.

00:09:26.822 --> 00:09:28.011
So it could be coincidence.

00:09:28.022 --> 00:09:29.451
It was an observational study, right?

00:09:29.461 --> 00:09:30.981
Maybe they don't get rid of their plastics.

00:09:31.001 --> 00:09:40.182
Maybe they did find that they, the people who had higher, higher microplastics also were more likely to have food that was packaged out, be exposed to it through their water sources.

00:09:40.192 --> 00:09:47.292
You know, they, they tracked it back to their usage and saw that yes, they were more likely to have a more exposure history, but it's an interesting study.

00:09:47.292 --> 00:09:47.912
Nonetheless.

00:09:47.981 --> 00:09:58.062
You know, and it makes me think that you go to your cancer center and you're getting your infusion and you get like a little bottle of water, you know, they, they hand them out.

00:09:58.081 --> 00:10:03.361
They have like little, you know, plastic water bottle that you get cause you have to be hydrated as you're getting your infusion.

00:10:03.731 --> 00:10:06.807
So I would say for anyone who's currently going through treatment.

00:10:07.086 --> 00:10:10.356
Bring your bottle bring a reusable bottle.

00:10:10.356 --> 00:10:27.491
I know we're, you know, going to talk about things that people can do But that just struck me that like you're getting treatment for cancer Mm hmm, and I mean we're taking the whole like recycling part out of it those like single use bottles But yeah, it's just you know, you're then you're drinking from a bottle I don't know.

00:10:27.902 --> 00:10:28.371
I know.

00:10:28.562 --> 00:10:28.951
I know.

00:10:29.172 --> 00:10:39.542
And there is no perfect, you know, there is to, to walk through each day without being exposed to or ingesting the plastics is more and more difficult because it's also in our air,

00:10:39.902 --> 00:10:40.392
right.

00:10:40.552 --> 00:10:47.186
And so that I'm going to be uber downer, but you can take control where you can because you can't control everything, right?

00:10:47.186 --> 00:10:48.416
And so you have to let the rest go.

00:10:48.416 --> 00:10:53.821
So you have to be like, I'll just use glass and stainless steel for my water sources when I am out and about.

00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:54.600
That helps.

00:10:54.961 --> 00:10:56.071
You know, every little bit helps.

00:10:56.321 --> 00:10:57.571
Try not to use plastics.

00:10:57.691 --> 00:10:59.211
Don't use single use plastics.

00:10:59.280 --> 00:11:02.471
Don't microwave or heat anything in plastic.

00:11:02.711 --> 00:11:05.600
And you have to be careful when you're defrosting something.

00:11:05.780 --> 00:11:18.625
So if you get like a package of meat or something and it's in your freezer, first of all, that action of freezing it creates You know, there's a chemical reaction that can leach the plastics out into the food.

00:11:18.806 --> 00:11:21.666
And then when you defrost it, it's the reverse, right?

00:11:21.836 --> 00:11:22.196
Right.

00:11:22.505 --> 00:11:31.535
So, if you can, if you purchase something that's not frozen, if you can like repackage it with something, wrap some butcher paper around it, and then seal it.

00:11:31.806 --> 00:11:32.666
In something.

00:11:32.666 --> 00:11:34.365
I mean, I don't even know at this point.

00:11:34.375 --> 00:11:36.985
Like, ah, it's so crazy.

00:11:36.995 --> 00:11:38.865
I'm like, I'm so overwhelmed.

00:11:40.426 --> 00:11:42.546
Prepping for this was so overwhelming.

00:11:42.775 --> 00:11:43.735
It is overwhelming.

00:11:43.735 --> 00:11:45.785
And that's why I said you do what you can and then you have to let go.

00:11:45.816 --> 00:11:53.532
Because I mean, in this latest Medscape article that you and I were talking about before we started, Medscape states plastic contains.

00:11:53.562 --> 00:12:08.451
So what you're talking about when you wrap the meat or the whatever food in plastic or somebody puts their leftover chili in a plastic container, plastic itself contains over 10, 000 chemicals, many of them carcinogenic substances and endocrine disruptors.

00:12:08.861 --> 00:12:09.241
So.

00:12:09.746 --> 00:12:11.057
The plastic is one thing.

00:12:11.167 --> 00:12:14.797
It has issues, you know, that we are going to continue to talk about.

00:12:15.076 --> 00:12:19.047
And then the plastic also contains other chemicals that have ramifications on our health.

00:12:19.277 --> 00:12:24.777
And so avoiding the plastic, you also are avoiding those 10, 000 chemicals that are possible to come along with it.

00:12:24.777 --> 00:12:30.756
And again, we talked about this in our last episode with Christina about how this isn't really tracked for safety.

00:12:31.017 --> 00:12:33.826
There's a false sense of safety when we're given something in the public.

00:12:33.996 --> 00:12:34.996
This must be okay.

00:12:35.297 --> 00:12:38.197
And that's not the case when it comes to human health and safety.

00:12:38.197 --> 00:12:41.427
The onus is on proving the toxicity, not proving the safety.

00:12:41.667 --> 00:12:41.996
Right.

00:12:42.307 --> 00:12:45.856
So, I think that's a, that's a really important place to start from.

00:12:46.096 --> 00:12:48.017
That helps us understand how we got here.

00:12:48.206 --> 00:12:50.836
Yeah, we got here from convenience, right?

00:12:51.417 --> 00:13:01.976
I mean, that's kind of, you know, the advent of plastics was such a revolutionary thing at the time, but, yeah, it's becoming very inconvenient, isn't it?

00:13:02.076 --> 00:13:18.537
That would be an interesting, that would be fascinating, uh, I'm sure there's been books written on it, I haven't looked that up, but, you know, Bakelite was kind of the first one, what, about a hundred years ago, and then from there we kept, Improving quote unquote our plastic usage and plastics are for the most part derived of petroleum products.

00:13:18.966 --> 00:13:20.407
So it's also an outlet for some.

00:13:20.645 --> 00:13:23.576
Petroleum products that, finds a market in plastics.

00:13:23.596 --> 00:13:25.936
And so that's a big reason we have so many plastics today.

00:13:25.995 --> 00:13:26.615
Right.

00:13:26.865 --> 00:13:27.216
Yeah.

00:13:27.216 --> 00:13:34.375
And I think that is an issue with recycling is that people think, oh, well, I recycle my plastics.

00:13:34.385 --> 00:13:37.316
All of these plastics are going to be turned into new plastic.

00:13:37.316 --> 00:13:38.796
And that's not always the case.

00:13:39.115 --> 00:13:43.696
Only about 5 percent of recycled plastic gets reused.

00:13:44.650 --> 00:13:51.730
And one of the reasons is you're not going to get as strong of a plastic from a previous plastic and the other reason is cost.

00:13:51.730 --> 00:13:59.520
It's so much cheaper to start from scratch and make plastic than to go through the whole procedure of recycling it.

00:13:59.990 --> 00:14:00.571
Interesting.

00:14:00.671 --> 00:14:04.230
You know, we have the capacity to make biodegradable plastics.

00:14:04.941 --> 00:14:06.071
The technology exists.

00:14:06.250 --> 00:14:07.671
Like from corn and stuff like that?

00:14:07.770 --> 00:14:08.890
Yeah, from corn.

00:14:09.451 --> 00:14:09.961
And so.

00:14:10.221 --> 00:14:11.591
And there's so much corn out there.

00:14:11.910 --> 00:14:17.341
Well, like they should use it for some, you know, they should use it for something besides like fillers and dog food.

00:14:17.341 --> 00:14:21.191
I mean, like they should use it for something that's going to be better in the long term.

00:14:21.610 --> 00:14:23.211
Well, that's an interesting thing, right?

00:14:23.221 --> 00:14:29.821
The reason we do have it as a filler and we have so much corn is because our growers need a market.

00:14:30.195 --> 00:14:36.154
when I say our, I mean, especially in the United States, we have a lot of corn growth and it needs a market and the end market.

00:14:36.341 --> 00:14:41.951
ends up being our gas tanks and as a filler in a lot of different foods and, and chows for various types of animals.

00:14:42.510 --> 00:14:44.071
But this would be a much better market, right?

00:14:44.071 --> 00:14:49.571
This is a win, everybody wins, the environment wins, we win, there's less toxicants, there's less microplastics.

00:14:49.750 --> 00:14:50.071
Yeah.

00:14:50.510 --> 00:14:59.291
I feel like I would much rather be wrapping my food in a, even if it is not perfect, it would be a better option because it wouldn't end up as microplastic.

00:14:59.581 --> 00:15:04.740
I'd rather be doing that than putting it in my gas tank, where I'm arguably losing about 10 percent of my miles per gallon.

00:15:04.791 --> 00:15:06.360
Right, right.

00:15:07.085 --> 00:15:13.975
So, Were there other things that we wanted to cover before we talk about things that we can do to decrease plastic use?

00:15:14.014 --> 00:15:16.445
Um, what we can do to decrease its use?

00:15:16.631 --> 00:15:26.081
Well, like, like, you know, like, like, how can we help to get rid of plastic, both from the environment and can we get rid of it when it's in our body?

00:15:26.312 --> 00:15:39.126
Um, like you mentioned, one of the issues with ingesting these plastics, Are the phthalates and the BPA and so you see a lot of packaging that now says BPA free and phthalate free.

00:15:39.667 --> 00:15:42.946
That's not the whole picture because there are other BPs.

00:15:42.947 --> 00:15:49.246
My answer to that is if it's a plastic that says BPA free, I have a little bit of don't believe the hype in my head.

00:15:49.246 --> 00:15:59.356
It's just because we haven't named and blamed the next chemical compound that's going to leach out of that plastic you know, I feel like this is an area where we substitute the unknown for fact.

00:15:59.527 --> 00:16:01.486
So we don't know what else is in that plastic.

00:16:01.756 --> 00:16:07.256
It is turning out that there's other chemical compounds besides BPA that is leaching and not good for our health.

00:16:07.307 --> 00:16:10.167
So, your best bet, if you can do it, is to use glass.

00:16:10.167 --> 00:16:12.647
I mean, I use a lot of recycled glass in my house.

00:16:12.767 --> 00:16:15.856
I don't want to tell you how many old peanut butter jars we have in the cupboard.

00:16:17.626 --> 00:16:18.366
I have the same.

00:16:18.376 --> 00:16:22.326
No, I, I am always like, you know, setting aside the good jars.

00:16:22.326 --> 00:16:23.246
You know, there are good jars.

00:16:23.246 --> 00:16:23.277
Yes.

00:16:23.277 --> 00:16:24.136
There are really good jars.

00:16:24.486 --> 00:16:27.076
Um, and then I also buy the ball jars.

00:16:27.136 --> 00:16:28.147
Those are really nice too.

00:16:28.277 --> 00:16:31.076
But you have to think about canned food, right?

00:16:31.086 --> 00:16:34.636
That lining of a can is typically BPA.

00:16:34.657 --> 00:16:36.116
And there's BPA free, but.

00:16:36.542 --> 00:16:40.272
I don't always know what, I, I forgot to look to see what the lining is and BPA free.

00:16:40.731 --> 00:16:40.942
Yeah.

00:16:40.942 --> 00:16:42.091
That's another big use.

00:16:42.111 --> 00:16:49.912
And then, the bane of my existence is, um, I don't even know the name of it, uh, plastic wrap, right?

00:16:50.182 --> 00:16:50.601
Oh.

00:16:50.652 --> 00:16:51.442
Like Saran Wrap?

00:16:51.591 --> 00:16:54.162
Well, we don't want to say name brands, but yeah, just like Saran Wrap.

00:16:54.881 --> 00:16:59.802
Um, I hate that stuff, but it's like, sometimes you're just like, God, I really need it.

00:17:00.072 --> 00:17:12.170
And so, a substitute for that would be, Those wax that wax covered fabric kind of those wax..., you know, and you can make those I've seen that on Instagram They have little videos on YouTube and stuff yeah,

00:17:12.170 --> 00:17:14.359
there's the ones that look like a shower cap But for your bowl,

00:17:15.109 --> 00:17:19.769
there are some like that But there also are just these folded used to be able to get them at Trader Joe's.

00:17:19.799 --> 00:17:26.994
They're just folded like these wax covered Fabric that you can kind of put around your food, maybe throw a rubber band around it or something.

00:17:26.994 --> 00:17:34.045
But we used to use that to wrap our cheese, which we bought in plastic, took it out of plastic and then put it in beeswax.

00:17:34.045 --> 00:17:35.194
I know, right?

00:17:35.434 --> 00:17:35.755
Right?

00:17:35.765 --> 00:17:38.884
There's certain foods that I don't think you can get without using plastic.

00:17:38.884 --> 00:17:43.984
I mean, what if it's off season and you want to buy some berries and they're frozen, you're going to buy them in a plastic bag.

00:17:43.984 --> 00:17:47.634
In a plastic bag or even just the plastic clamshells that they come in.

00:17:47.644 --> 00:17:51.065
Oh, the clamshells are one of the worst because often you can't do anything with that.

00:17:51.105 --> 00:17:52.980
That's just This is my conundrum.

00:17:52.990 --> 00:17:55.980
There is a vegetable conundrum that I often have at the store.

00:17:56.279 --> 00:18:01.430
The conventionally grown fill in the blank lettuce is sitting there just by itself.

00:18:01.460 --> 00:18:02.539
Nothing is wrapped around it.

00:18:02.549 --> 00:18:03.299
It's conventionally grown.

00:18:03.299 --> 00:18:04.779
It's just sitting there waiting for me to buy it.

00:18:05.244 --> 00:18:10.085
And then I'm like, Oh, the organic lettuce, I'd rather buy organic, but there it is in a clamshell plastic container.

00:18:10.265 --> 00:18:11.454
This happens with blueberries.

00:18:11.454 --> 00:18:13.265
It happens with tomatoes.

00:18:13.361 --> 00:18:14.431
happened with mushrooms?

00:18:14.530 --> 00:18:19.580
It's like, wait, why is the organic all wrapped up and plastic and the conventional not?

00:18:19.621 --> 00:18:24.020
And then I'm, I'm at a loss of exactly which one is the best one to buy.

00:18:24.411 --> 00:18:24.871
I know.

00:18:24.871 --> 00:18:29.550
And I saw somebody on our, our buy nothing group on Facebook for my neighborhood.

00:18:29.601 --> 00:18:33.290
Uh, they were looking for those clamshells to start veggie starts.

00:18:33.500 --> 00:18:33.820
Okay.

00:18:33.861 --> 00:18:35.861
And I'm like, well, that's a great use of it.

00:18:35.871 --> 00:18:39.500
But then you're like doing a veggie start out of plastic.

00:18:39.621 --> 00:18:40.161
Yeah.

00:18:41.040 --> 00:18:42.250
So, and I do that too.

00:18:42.250 --> 00:18:46.010
I use the, you know, if I buy a start, I reuse those little pots and they're plastic.

00:18:46.010 --> 00:18:51.080
And I'm starting to see more and more people online building wood things to do plant starts with.

00:18:51.101 --> 00:18:58.260
But yeah, I've, I am completely guilty of using plastic jugs and whatnot to start my veggies for my garden.

00:18:58.510 --> 00:18:58.871
Yeah.

00:18:59.435 --> 00:19:04.695
Yeah, yeah, again, I think the key here is you do what you can and then you let go.

00:19:05.036 --> 00:19:06.465
Yeah, the letting go part is hard.

00:19:06.465 --> 00:19:08.036
It is, it is.

00:19:08.076 --> 00:19:08.865
For some of us.

00:19:09.195 --> 00:19:12.066
But you have to know that you've done everything you can and then forgive yourself.

00:19:12.066 --> 00:19:14.155
I mean, perfection is not really the goal.

00:19:14.195 --> 00:19:15.685
You do your best, you know.

00:19:16.211 --> 00:19:18.701
It's to reduce, to reduce the impact.

00:19:18.851 --> 00:19:20.911
So the other thing is water.

00:19:21.090 --> 00:19:23.111
Make sure your water is filtered.

00:19:23.121 --> 00:19:27.381
So reverse osmosis will definitely clear out those micro and nanoplastics.

00:19:27.621 --> 00:19:31.421
Activated charcoal will, I believe those filters greatly reduce it.

00:19:31.421 --> 00:19:33.181
I don't think it eliminates it completely.

00:19:33.550 --> 00:19:34.111
Yeah.

00:19:34.431 --> 00:19:40.020
So, but make sure that you are getting filtered water in a glass or metal jar or container.

00:19:40.694 --> 00:19:41.045
Yeah.

00:19:41.045 --> 00:19:44.615
There, there are some websites tracking, which filters are best out there.

00:19:44.615 --> 00:19:47.424
And of course they end up trying to sell you their filter kind of thing.

00:19:47.424 --> 00:19:55.365
But in, in the aggregate, when you look at these various websites, it looks to me like the tighter the charcoal, the better the filter is for these plastics.

00:19:55.365 --> 00:20:00.144
So that, you know, like a loose charcoal is going to let more plastic through than a tight charcoal.

00:20:00.144 --> 00:20:00.174
Yeah.

00:20:00.174 --> 00:20:00.204
Cool.

00:20:00.474 --> 00:20:19.414
Like a Brita or pure filter that kind of, you know, you shake and it kind of rattles around in the little plastic container, um, you and I both have Berkey filters and Berkey no longer makes the filter for the container, but those are those very compressed carbon filters that can really, really greatly reduce the plastic.

00:20:19.667 --> 00:20:26.428
it's one of those things that I would like to do more research on because I could use another one besides the Berkey because it's so slow because it's gravity fed.

00:20:26.428 --> 00:20:26.478
Yeah.

00:20:26.742 --> 00:20:28.012
So I'd like to hook one up to my sink.

00:20:28.012 --> 00:20:33.603
So maybe if we do that, I'll, I'll put a, a little summary of what I find on our webpage.

00:20:33.603 --> 00:20:42.863
As we started off, you know, talking about Patagonia and clothing, I think trying to find natural fiber clothing is another really important thing.

00:20:42.873 --> 00:20:45.923
Um, alpaca wool is fabulous.

00:20:45.942 --> 00:20:52.303
It's warm, like most wools, like if it gets wet, it's not, it's not going to chill you, you know, the way that cotton would.

00:20:52.603 --> 00:20:56.393
Um, but yeah, alpaca, if you can find things made from alpaca,

00:20:57.032 --> 00:20:59.252
You're just you're a fan of the alpaca.

00:20:59.522 --> 00:21:08.613
I'm a fan of llamas and alpacas But when I read about and you know, I have been gifted Multiple things that are made from alpaca wool.

00:21:08.873 --> 00:21:10.202
Wait, can you make underwear out of them?

00:21:10.482 --> 00:21:15.877
I think so probably and then You can make, like, it's very, it's really breathable.

00:21:16.117 --> 00:21:21.087
Like, you can actually hike and, you know, run and all of that in, in this, in this wall.

00:21:21.238 --> 00:21:29.087
Because, okay, here's the thing, I'm, like, laughing because the only thing I really have seen in alpaco is sweaters and gloves and scarves and such.

00:21:29.198 --> 00:21:35.887
And so, I think of underwear as, like, something we should get that is not going to have microplastics because we wash it a lot.

00:21:36.407 --> 00:21:37.337
We go through a lot of it.

00:21:37.337 --> 00:21:39.627
It's kind of one of those, all year round you use it.

00:21:40.087 --> 00:21:43.258
Are you thinking like of the spandexes and stuff that are in underwear?

00:21:43.298 --> 00:21:45.048
I'm thinking underwear across the board, yeah.

00:21:45.048 --> 00:21:48.167
I mean, obviously cotton is not going to have the microplastics as much.

00:21:48.208 --> 00:21:50.208
But yeah, there's all sorts of materials.

00:21:50.407 --> 00:21:51.167
Polyesters.

00:21:51.357 --> 00:21:53.508
Yeah, I would just say try to stick with natural fibers.

00:21:53.518 --> 00:22:00.627
And if you find workout clothing that's made from either merino wool or alpaca, yeah, definitely go for that.

00:22:00.758 --> 00:22:02.167
I'll have to look into the underwear thing.

00:22:02.347 --> 00:22:06.688
I think there is! No, I've seen on Instagram, I swear I've seen um,

00:22:06.894 --> 00:22:07.734
I'm just laughing because

00:22:07.835 --> 00:22:08.934
wool underwear!

00:22:09.220 --> 00:22:13.119
Because I think of it as so warm, so like, you know, like wool.

00:22:13.150 --> 00:22:14.009
I think of it like wool.

00:22:14.480 --> 00:22:22.059
No, my, my friend's son actually has come up with a company, I think it's pronounced Avala, Avala?

00:22:22.059 --> 00:22:23.410
I'm not sure how to pronounce it.

00:22:23.650 --> 00:22:28.539
But they, um, they make merino wool t shirts for running.

00:22:28.990 --> 00:22:31.430
And so he's got, we can link to his Instagram.

00:22:32.700 --> 00:22:48.529
But she's been a friend of mine for a really long time, um, but he has, he does these videos where he approaches people and races and says, okay, we'll run three miles and after a mile and a half, we'll switch shirts and you'll wear my shirt and tell me which one you prefer.

00:22:48.529 --> 00:22:50.849
It's, it's kind of, it's great marketing, but anyways.

00:22:51.285 --> 00:22:59.944
Yeah, so you can run in these shirts and they're cool and breathable, stretchy, so I think there is underwear.

00:22:59.944 --> 00:23:05.125
I'm going to look online, but I, I, I swear, cause you know, Instagram will just start like throwing ads at you.

00:23:05.125 --> 00:23:08.795
So my phone's probably listening to me and so I'll start seeing all the underwear ads.

00:23:09.220 --> 00:23:11.519
Well, a lower bar might be just to buy cotton though, right?

00:23:11.680 --> 00:23:12.539
Yeah, yeah.

00:23:12.569 --> 00:23:13.299
100 percent cotton.

00:23:13.309 --> 00:23:15.829
That's what I usually do for my underwear.

00:23:15.859 --> 00:23:17.990
But bras are hard to find in cotton.

00:23:18.119 --> 00:23:19.099
Yeah, I agree.

00:23:19.430 --> 00:23:36.029
Okay, so we've covered clothing, we've covered water, food we kind of covered in terms of trying to reduce, you know, like, I mean, I don't want to say favor the places where you get takeout where they Don't use plastic, or styrofoam, because in some places you're not going to find that.

00:23:36.220 --> 00:23:36.930
No, I know.

00:23:37.099 --> 00:23:41.700
And I don't know if you can bring your own container and say, can you put this, I mean, that's such an Oregon thing, right?

00:23:41.839 --> 00:23:43.599
Oh, that'd be so Oregonian.

00:23:43.619 --> 00:23:46.910
You bring your glass container and say, can you make my food in this?

00:23:47.460 --> 00:23:51.019
It's, it's like the Portlandia episode where they went and met the chicken at the farm.

00:23:51.099 --> 00:23:53.779
No, yeah, that's, that's truly like a, like a Portland thing.

00:23:55.539 --> 00:24:01.259
So I guess we'll talk about if there are ways of, you know, eliminating it from our body.

00:24:01.349 --> 00:24:03.339
And the short answer is no.

00:24:03.579 --> 00:24:04.750
Yeah, that's the problem.

00:24:04.750 --> 00:24:06.480
This is why you really want to reduce it.

00:24:06.730 --> 00:24:10.339
As in incoming because there's ingestion routes, right?

00:24:10.339 --> 00:24:13.029
We've talked about this in many episodes in the past.

00:24:13.029 --> 00:24:14.390
You can only ingest so many ways.

00:24:14.410 --> 00:24:16.619
You can only eliminate in so many ways.

00:24:16.849 --> 00:24:26.089
You know, there's routes into your body, your mouth, your lungs, your skin, and there's routes out your body, your stool, your urine, your sweat, your breath, and that's it.

00:24:26.670 --> 00:24:27.400
That's all you got.

00:24:27.400 --> 00:24:28.880
You got routes in routes out.

00:24:29.329 --> 00:24:32.210
And if it goes in and it doesn't come out, it's in you somewhere.

00:24:32.339 --> 00:24:35.450
I mean, that sounds like an oversimplification, but that's basically what we're talking about.

00:24:35.750 --> 00:24:41.230
Unless we can break it down, unless we can actually digest it or dismantle it, so to speak.

00:24:41.390 --> 00:24:42.210
And we can't.

00:24:42.380 --> 00:24:43.710
That's the problem with plastics.

00:24:43.740 --> 00:24:44.099
Yes.

00:24:44.130 --> 00:24:50.414
Yeah, but the endocrine disrupters can potentially be eliminated

00:24:50.585 --> 00:24:51.494
Those are chemicals.

00:24:51.634 --> 00:24:54.055
Right that are in the plastics

00:24:54.154 --> 00:24:55.434
...that are in the plastics, right.

00:24:55.434 --> 00:25:05.759
those would be some of the 10, 000 plus chemicals that medscape talks about being in the plastic and us ingesting it due to leaching into whatever we're, drinking or eating from the plastic.

00:25:05.940 --> 00:25:12.220
And I was reading that a way to help to reduce those chemicals is through sweating.

00:25:12.230 --> 00:25:22.539
There was a study looking at ways of reducing some of the many chemicals that go along with plastic, and sweating can help to eliminate some of them.

00:25:22.769 --> 00:25:32.105
And so, like you just said, I mean, it's just making sure that you're, I don't want to use the word detox, but making sure you're Body's pathways of elimination are working.

00:25:32.115 --> 00:25:36.934
So make sure you're pooping, eat your veggies, your plant foods, right?

00:25:36.934 --> 00:25:45.575
Your fiber, um, your nuts, your brightly colored foods to get all of those polyphenols.

00:25:45.615 --> 00:25:49.765
Um, make sure you're having daily bowel movements, regular bowel movements.

00:25:50.515 --> 00:25:55.884
that's one of the Roots of, like, foundational measures of health is normal bowel movements every day.

00:25:56.545 --> 00:26:05.567
So when someone tells me every other day is the normal since they were young, I still say, let's still shoot for every day if we can, because elimination is so important in our current environment.

00:26:05.866 --> 00:26:06.227
Right.

00:26:06.767 --> 00:26:07.207
Yeah.

00:26:07.416 --> 00:26:08.696
And a lot does come out that way.

00:26:09.196 --> 00:26:09.656
Mm hmm,

00:26:10.096 --> 00:26:13.747
which is how they did the study in China measuring the microplastics in the stool, right?

00:26:13.826 --> 00:26:47.355
Right, right, but yeah I mean that and I think I you know I have seen things I didn't read about them because I was diving so deep into all of this As you were but I mean there are apparently some studies looking at Resveratrol and curcumin to help to reduce these phthalates and you know other chemicals So, I would just say incorporate those foods, make sure that you're getting turmeric in your food, and you're getting those dark purple y grapes, the peanut skins, um, you can go back and listen to previous episodes.

00:26:47.385 --> 00:26:49.195
Did we do one on resveratrol?

00:26:49.326 --> 00:26:51.415
I think we did, I remember the peanut skin thing from the,

00:26:52.076 --> 00:27:00.215
I, you know, we did talk about peanut skins in resveratrol, I do remember that way back when, that might have been in season one, but um, color, color, color, follow the color in nature.

00:27:00.236 --> 00:27:00.536
Yeah.

00:27:00.586 --> 00:27:03.115
It's always the case, and those pigments are where it's at.

00:27:03.645 --> 00:27:08.816
They all upregulate our ability to, um, get rid of these toxic substances in our cells.

00:27:08.826 --> 00:27:10.256
So we actually pump them out.

00:27:10.256 --> 00:27:15.895
So if you could picture a cell as having pumps on its membrane, what goes inside can sometimes be pumped out.

00:27:16.115 --> 00:27:24.955
What increases the number of exits or pumps to get that junk out of our cells is some of these bioflavonoids that you're talking about, polyphenols and such.

00:27:25.016 --> 00:27:31.665
And it's, no one needs to name anything, just follow the color, eat berries, eat orange, eat yellow, eat blue, you know.

00:27:31.925 --> 00:27:32.986
Black beans, whatever.

00:27:33.046 --> 00:27:35.365
Just follow the color and you will be ingesting the good stuff.

00:27:35.705 --> 00:27:36.925
And you'll be getting fiber.

00:27:37.236 --> 00:27:37.445
And

00:27:37.445 --> 00:27:37.986
there's fiber.

00:27:38.865 --> 00:27:39.726
Anything else?

00:27:40.635 --> 00:27:45.536
I was trying to end on an up note, and I always think that talking about berries is an up note.

00:27:46.080 --> 00:27:47.411
Yeah, yeah, I'm trying to think.

00:27:47.431 --> 00:27:49.990
Um, the only, the only good news is we're looking at it now.

00:27:50.010 --> 00:27:53.817
I feel like 10 years ago, we were kind of too early on it.

00:27:53.993 --> 00:27:56.183
It was happening, and it was increasing.

00:27:57.794 --> 00:28:00.763
But now we see Harvard Medicine coming out in their magazine.

00:28:01.114 --> 00:28:09.746
They just talked about microplastics being everywhere from trash to dust to fibers to cosmetics, They went, into it in great detail and Medscape just came out.

00:28:09.746 --> 00:28:15.986
So that means that the doctors and the other healthcare practitioners are being told about this and how it poses an actual health risk.

00:28:16.266 --> 00:28:19.066
Yeah, because it's also, I mean, it's a cardiovascular risk, right?

00:28:19.246 --> 00:28:19.875
Huge.

00:28:20.076 --> 00:28:20.685
Think of it this way.

00:28:20.715 --> 00:28:25.115
They are so small, some of them, If you inhale these particles and they're less than 2.

00:28:25.215 --> 00:28:29.801
5 microns, which they are in the air sometimes, they go through your lungs, just like.

00:28:29.990 --> 00:28:35.671
Your lungs are supposed to do, they absorb things and go through your lungs into your bloodstream and they can cross through the blood brain barrier.

00:28:36.000 --> 00:28:40.671
So when you have things crossing through the blood brain barrier that shouldn't be there, that's no bueno.

00:28:40.881 --> 00:28:45.560
Because the brain doesn't have as much ability to protect itself, so we need to protect it.

00:28:45.951 --> 00:28:47.000
Or eliminate, right?

00:28:47.070 --> 00:28:49.780
I mean, what's the pathway of elimination for the brain?

00:28:49.911 --> 00:28:50.641
Glymphatics.

00:28:50.931 --> 00:28:52.901
That's a whole, that's a whole nother episode.

00:28:52.971 --> 00:28:54.510
Yes, glymphatics are amazing.

00:28:54.510 --> 00:29:11.340
It's a lymphatic system dedicated to the brain, and if somebody just puts that into Google Images or whatever, and you see how the glymphatics basically look like waves in an ocean going over your brain tissue, kind of bringing away the debris, the protein aggregates, and the junk that shouldn't be in your, in your CSF or your brain tissue.

00:29:11.726 --> 00:29:16.155
So that's why hydration is really important and sleep is really important because that's when your glymphatics clean things out.

00:29:16.635 --> 00:29:18.425
That's a whole nother, yeah, episode, you're right.

00:29:18.915 --> 00:29:22.185
So, yeah, if you're still listening after this episode

00:29:22.425 --> 00:29:23.096
I know.

00:29:23.125 --> 00:29:23.746
God bless you.

00:29:24.036 --> 00:29:24.266
Yeah.

00:29:25.355 --> 00:29:27.885
But, um, yeah, we'll definitely have links.

00:29:28.566 --> 00:29:32.455
In the show notes and pass this on to friends.

00:29:32.455 --> 00:29:44.076
If you've been trying to eliminate plastic in your life and you have a friend or family member who is just really, you know, determined to not give up their single use plastic bottles, you know, pass this episode on.

00:29:44.145 --> 00:29:46.736
And again, this is just like I mentioned to Christina.

00:29:46.955 --> 00:29:52.855
Um, in our last episode, this is not about a political issue, a left right issue.

00:29:53.026 --> 00:29:57.246
It's not about anything except our health and the health of our children and generations to come.

00:29:57.336 --> 00:30:01.685
Right now, the cancer rates are much higher in people under 50 years old, and they're skyrocketing.

00:30:01.726 --> 00:30:18.290
And we think That among the multifactorial reasons, this is one of them that's really highly implicated because it's around the world and so I think we can all agree no matter where you are in the political spectrum that cancer in general and certainly cancer in children and young people.

00:30:18.830 --> 00:30:20.661
Should be high priority to do something about

00:30:20.740 --> 00:30:21.381
exactly.

00:30:21.550 --> 00:30:22.590
It's a bipartisan issue.

00:30:22.891 --> 00:30:23.901
It's not about the environment.

00:30:23.901 --> 00:30:24.550
It's about our health

00:30:24.621 --> 00:30:35.727
Well again, if people haven't listened to the episode that we did with christina She's the author of a new war on cancer and it's all about the environmental impact On cancer.

00:30:36.277 --> 00:30:37.396
You can watch it on YouTube.

00:30:37.487 --> 00:30:40.896
We have a YouTube channel and we tend to put our interviews.

00:30:40.896 --> 00:30:42.136
Maybe this episode will go up.

00:30:42.186 --> 00:30:43.086
We don't know yet.

00:30:43.277 --> 00:30:44.007
I haven't decided.

00:30:44.457 --> 00:30:47.317
Um, I'll talk to the video editor and see what they do.

00:30:48.957 --> 00:30:51.957
But we do have videos of our interviews.

00:30:51.977 --> 00:30:53.267
We've been putting them up on YouTube.

00:30:53.277 --> 00:30:54.717
So go there and watch it.

00:30:55.247 --> 00:30:59.146
And if you like what we're doing, if you like what you're hearing.

00:30:59.527 --> 00:31:01.227
You can buy us a coffee.

00:31:01.237 --> 00:31:02.767
The link is in the show notes.

00:31:03.116 --> 00:31:04.846
Um, we really appreciate it.

00:31:05.301 --> 00:31:12.271
And it helps us to pay for all of the apps and sites that we need to do to produce this.

00:31:12.311 --> 00:31:13.882
We're not making a profit off of this.

00:31:13.922 --> 00:31:15.602
This is purely out of love.

00:31:15.692 --> 00:31:21.092
And yeah, we would love for a couple of coffees from a person or two.

00:31:22.017 --> 00:31:27.737
And if you head over to YouTube, don't forget to hit the subscribe button because that helps us out a lot and it helps other people find us.

00:31:27.846 --> 00:31:28.186
So

00:31:28.416 --> 00:31:38.676
yeah, I think as of this recording, we have 54 subscribers, which doesn't sound like much because there are people who have millions, but for us, it's pretty good.

00:31:38.686 --> 00:31:39.517
I was happy.

00:31:40.007 --> 00:31:41.747
I was happy when we got 10.

00:31:41.757 --> 00:31:42.277
So

00:31:42.396 --> 00:31:43.686
yeah, you got to start somewhere.

00:31:44.152 --> 00:31:44.632
Yeah.

00:31:44.922 --> 00:31:46.491
So, on that note, I'm Dr.

00:31:46.491 --> 00:31:47.122
Leah Sherman.

00:31:47.442 --> 00:31:48.021
And I'm Dr.

00:31:48.021 --> 00:31:48.692
Tina Kaczor.

00:31:49.142 --> 00:31:50.241
And this is the Cancer Pod.

00:31:50.521 --> 00:31:51.152
Until next time.

00:32:34.848 --> 00:32:35.929
They're everywhere.

00:32:36.413 --> 00:32:37.804
Everywhere
