My son is an Endocrinologist and was published in the Endocrinology Journal about Microplastics found in the bags of IV solution and hospital equipment.

[@hubermanlab]

That was/is key work. A future episode guest said those IV bags are a major source of microplastic. Thank you to you and to your son! Best wishes, Andrew

[@NoGoatsNoGlory.]

Yeah IV bags are very malleable. Makes sense they would contain a lot of microplastics

Morning 🌅?

[@FunderDuck]

Maybe this is already the case, but food and beverage packaging should undergo a similar level of analysis and scrutiny as the consumable product itself. It seems like a major issue is that regulators in the past focused more on what goes into the product rather than what the product goes in.

[@Healthtipsdaily424]

Not enough is spoken about micro-plastics. I uploaded a video on this subject 3 months ago touching on this. Many thanks for a more in depth discussion

[@DaveG-qd6ug]

Tissue samples have shown that plastic and silcone cutting boards contribute more plastic absorption than all other sources combined. He did not even mention this.

[@generalbear7642]

Source please? And I don't mean a Google search suggestion...I would appreciate where you got your information please.

[@Brand00d]

I just bought a wood board because of this

[@ExecutiveZombie]

Yeah cheap cutting boards are not good. I use cast Iron cookware, save spaghetti mason jars as drinking glasses, and I don’t microwave anything or drink water, coffee teas… from plastic. Simple little things. 🤗

[@terrastrike2026]

Thanks Huberman! Will be moving onto Macroplastics now ❤

[@Cathy-xi8cb]

There are simple things that are attractive and easy to do: cook at home and avoid convenience packaging, use glass, stainless, and ceramic at home for cooking and eating. Decant things into glass containers, and hydrate well.

[@TonyG-n1m]

Professor huberman, currently on a journey to watch all of the episodes as it dramatically improving my life, would you consider doing an episode on the science behind alleviating or eliminating symptoms of various medications (antipsychotics, antidepressants, nootropics, marijuana, etc.)

[@natalieaxl804]

In 2016 I changed everything in my house to glass containers and storage. Everything is glass and I stopped the Starbucks cups or anything plastic, fabric bags for groceries and cast iron for cooking Celtics salt. Thank you @Andrew 🙏❤

[@rudolfdiesel7.3version31]

Your clear delivery is fantastic to listen to. Thank you for all of your content.

[@hannahmulligan1995]

A tip when consuming food that contains microplastics, take zeolite powder. Zeolites have the potential to bind to microplastics, BPA, heavy metals, pesticides, ammonia, even histamine. Heiltropfen is the only brand I know of that both properly cleans their zeolite products and has good size ranges to choose from (from 2 um to 10 um).

[@katelynmiller5072]

[@katealekseeva4260]

Thank u for addressing the micro- and nanoplastics! (I’ve been waiting for this episode for a couple of years!) It is a huge topic and area of research, and it is finally getting some traction and the interest among the public. This episode, indeed, is just scratching the surface: the problem of plastics, micro- and nanoplastics, pfas and other chemicals. I really hope that this episode will first of many more on these topics. I also hope that u will invite the scientists who’ve been researching micro and nanoplastics for years - to tell us all more about their findings. Especially on the connection between the plastics/pfas/chemicals and our health. There’s SO many papers and studies on the links between plastics and different health conditions (like Alzheimer’s, heart attacks, etc) - l think it would be super beneficial to the society to learn about these studies and all the preliminary data scientists already have on the harms of plastics. Thank you once again for this episode. And please keep your eye on this topic and keep us updated on the your findings in the coming years. Thank u

Hi Andrew 🤗 I just bought a water destiller a few weeks ago and i highly recommend it as an addition to the 6 pillars of health ☀️❤️

[@Phoenixrises89]

I agree… I have one too and it’s disgusting the sludge like cement that is left behind from my tap water. After distilling my water it’s 0.01 of chemicals etc, before it’s nearly 90 😢

I hope the “you consume a credit card worth of plastic every week” gets addressed. That’s such an absurd claim. 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@hubermanlab]

It is addressed and new data refute that idea.

[@andyd5762]

It highly depends who you test. A person conscious of microplastics sources obviously going to consume way less microplastics than a person who microwaves plastic containers, drinks in hot summers from plastic bottles, cuts on plastic cutting board etc etc. So yea it's very plausible that the average person might actually consume such amount.

in summery - it truly is so over.

[@andyd5762]

yea we can reduce our intake perhaps but more and more plastic is produced and once it's there it just keep accumulating. it's in the air it's in the water and it's in the animals we eat and it just keeps getting more and more. it's so bad that leaders are actually avoiding the topic completely

[@rememoregards8616]

Need episode on PFOAs

[@7msjster]

There is a dynamic in the atmosphere that is not being considered. The plastics that are used as dust particles for "cloud seeding". I don't know how anyone can come up with solutions if this dynamic is NOT being considered. It doesn't matter what we do as long as plastics are being sprayed in the atmosphere. Someone needs to address the THICKNESS of the plastic that is being used to package our Vegetables! Seriously, when are the MANUFACTURERS going to be held accountable for reducing these plastics. BE ALARMED! as long as we sugar coat what is going on it will keep going on. If you think that you have the nice house and car and never worry about buying groceries, it's affecting you TOO! MONEY DOES NOT BUY HEALTH.

Why don’t we use hemp products?

[@crazymove8]

Seed oils (canola, soy) heated with a dash of metal (from pan or atmosphere?) makes a polymer. So how are ingested microplastics studied as distinct from polymers from seed oils. Data please.
