“The trial did not test BPA, phthalates, PFAS, or plastic particles, so it supports a detoxification pathway rather than a plastic-clearing treatment. Fiber supports bowel regularity, but no cited human trial shows that it removes systemic microplastics or meaningfully lowers BPA, phthalate, or PFAS body burden.”

“Heat and food contact can increase transfer from some plastic products. One laboratory study found that steeping a single nylon or polyethylene terephthalate tea bag at 95 degrees Celsius released billions of microplastic and nanoplastic particles.”

“Sulforaphane may affect metabolism of selected volatile chemicals, but it does not filter particulates or microplastics from inhaled air. This clip is excerpted, with permission, from Dr. Rhonda Patrick's appearance on Modern Wisdom.”

“Microplastics found in sea salt from the US, Europe, and China. Americans that eat 2.3 grams of salt per day could be ingesting upwards of 660 particles of plastic each year. In Spain, 21 different types of table salt and all had plastic in them.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses her supplement stack, avoiding microplastics, creatine for brain health, and mRNA vaccine autoimmunity risks.

Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses urolithin A, postmenopausal protein, microplastics, high-temperature saunas, sugar intake, and supplements for Parkinson's disease.

Dr. Rhonda Patrick explores collagen peptides, high-dose niacin and vitamin B6, avoiding nano- and microplastics in her latest Q&A.

“One French survey found more measured microplastic particles in sampled glass-bottled water than in plastic bottles or cartons, with painted caps identified as a likely source. Other useful steps focus on condition, handling, and maintenance.”

“For omega-3s, salmon provides EPA and DHA in a whole-food matrix, but fish can also contain mercury and microplastics; well-characterized purified products may reduce exposure to some contaminants but are not nutritionally identical to fish.”

“PFAS are principal components of plastic, which can break down and enter the environment as microplastics. Consequently, microplastics may be a major contributor to PFAS exposure. Learn more about microplastics and PFAS exposure in this episode featuring Dr. Rhonda Patrick.”
