Thank you for the kind words, Molly. Glad I exist too. Wishing there were fewer carcinogens on this planet so we can all exist longer. Sending lots of love back to you, dear.
Thanks - good info. I've known never to microwave anything in plastic, but I'll need to see if I can find cheese, bread, milk, and cream that's not in plastic. Also, need to use glass containers for leftovers instead of the plastic ones. I'll try to remember to carry a ceramic coffee cup when stopping for coffee which usually comes in plastic-coated paper cups.
Hey there Al Christie: You can find milk and cream in glass bottles. We have to pay a $3 deposit at our local food cooperative. You get the money back when you bring back the bottles. Bread you have to usually buy "naked" or bake your own. Cheese that you buy in bulk can be in wax or you can go to the deli and bring your own reusable beeswax cheese wrap and ask them to put your cheese in that. My trick for the leftovers is to GIVE AWAY every plastic Tupperware in your home. Works like a charm! Also if you have a carabiner and you put it on your coffee mug and attach it to your backpack or belt loop, you'll always have it with you. It's fun to try all of this. No need to be perfect or even consistent. And baby steps count too!
This is the reason I gave away my dishwasher. A friend of a friend published a good study on the microplastics whirling around in dishwashers -- I think it was on the JHU site somewhere -- so I gifted mine to a friend who said she'd buy one, plastic notwithstanding.
I have a family member who hasn't reacted well to information on the side effects of statins. How do I even talk to him about his wearing plastic contact lenses for 20+ years?
I'm not expecting real answers to this rhetorical question. I appreciate your articles and your contribution to these battles.
This is a morbid and helpful article. Thanks for taking the time to compile and share everything with us.
I counsel parents to skip the plastic bottle with the plastic/silicone nipple. If the mom can't breastfeed, just use a small glass -- since none are made for babies, whiskey shot glasses work brilliantly.
Your carabiner + coffee cup reminds me fondly of my mom.
3-Bioprobif is taking a giant step for a healthy future with the probiotic PROBIF based edible 100% vegetable and non-plastic food packaging and probiotic based organic biodegradable bioplastic products it has developed!
Microplastics that enter the body with food pass through the intestine into the blood, where they are transported through the lymphatic system to the liver and gallbladder.
Microplastics, due to their small size and hydrophobicity (not being hydrophobic), can cross the placenta and blood-brain barrier, reaching the gastrointestinal (digestive) system and lungs, two potential areas of harm that can occur in the human body.
Probif is defined as a microplastic destroyer product.
Probiotic is a product that simultaneously focuses on the beneficial effect of bifidobacteria on human immunity and microplastic biodegradation.
Probif is a type of fortified Bifidobacteria that destroys microplastics in the intestine and 3 elements (E3) with 2 products in one place (Prebiotic-Booster Probiotic Bifidobacterium-Postbiotic) helps regulate your digestive system and support your immune system.
Probif has the effect of destroying microplastics accumulated in the intestine, preventing both the accumulation in the body and the accumulation in nature through feces. (First in the world) Using algae cell wall for the first time in the world as a postbiotic.
Not to be the negative Nelly here, but the biodegradable stuff is usually GMO corn product. An increasingly large percentage of kids will react very badly to it. I bet portability was one reason behind those Chinese lotus leaf wrapped foods!
I love that you are sharing this information, and offering great suggestions!
So glad you exist, Jennifer. You have so much to share with the world.
I pray for your healing and send you much love!
