Microplastics in Brains

September 11, 2024
Microplastics invade our brains.
the details
Scientific evidence is increasingly revealing that microplastics are accumulating in essential human organs, including the brain. This unsettling discovery has led researchers to call for more urgent measures to combat...

A recent preprint study found that brain tissue samples collected in early
00:05
2024 has a 50% increase in microplastics from those from 2016 according
00:13
to the National Institute of Health,
00:15
that would mean that our brains are 99.5% brain and the rest
00:21
is plastic brother. Too bad.
00:24
You 99.5% is actual brain.
00:27
Yeah. So I'm not that dumb dude having any form of
00:29
plastic in your brain is not good but last year or no
00:33
Was it earlier this year?
00:33
See, my brain's already fucked up,
00:36
didn't we talk about the microplastics in the ball sacks?
00:38
Well, I'd rather have them down there than in my brain
00:41
brother. I mean,
00:42
for me, the damage is already done,
00:44
but you already have a baby brother.
00:45
You're fine study from CNN.
00:48
Highlights that nanoplastics can invade brain cells,
00:51
potentially disrupting cellular processes and introducing harmful chemicals.
00:57
Experts advise taking these steps to reduce plastic exposure such as
01:04
avoiding plastic wrapped foods.
01:07
Ok. And using alternative materials for everyday items like plastic bags
01:13
and bottles. Ok.
01:15
Well, look, I use my Stanley cup so I don't
01:17
use the plastic bottles.
01:18
That's good. And then,
01:19
you know, the plastic bags,
01:21
I bring my own other baby Yoda one.
01:22
It's really the tote bags.
01:26
I'm doing good. You are doing good brother.
01:28
You are doing good,
01:28
irreversible damage up here.
01:31
But, yeah, I mean,
01:33
I guess we're doomed.
01:39
I don't know, like,
01:41
scary. Like, we don't know what we're putting in our
01:43
bodies on a daily basis.
01:45
I don't know about you.
01:45
But a lot of people,
01:47
it, it's scary.
01:47
Like, I know a lot of people have cancer right now
01:49
It's really sad.
01:50
I don't, I'm not saying that this is the reason,
01:52
but I'm saying that we should be very focused on what we
01:55
put into our bodies and you know,
01:58
because we just never know uno CAA,
02:00
brother Uno casa. It's true.
02:03
Crazy, bro, microplastics who would have thought in our brain
02:07
I don't know.
02:08
I get stumped sometimes so that could be it.
