Our Microplastics Moment
A recent study showed microplastics in every male testicle tested. Of course they are in every organ, and affect everyone’s health.
It’s probably possible to slowly remove them with things like blood/plasma donation, but it’s also important to slow down intake as much as possible.
So no plastic food or drink containers. But water quality is an under-appreciated issue. City water is full of toxins including microplastics (all the pipes are plastic), but even home filtration systems don’t always solve this issue.
Reverse osmosis filters are used by many and they don’t work for this - they can actually add micro plastics to the water they produce since every piece of the unit is made from plastic.
Gravity filtration systems like Berkey do remove plastics and as an added bonus retain important ionic minerals, that are also removed by reverse osmosis.
