Anthony William: 我在节目中讨论的并非网络上充斥的关于塑料污染的各种信息,而是塑料对人体自身的影响,特别是血液和器官中的微塑料。塑料确实有害,但不必过度恐慌。我们日常接触到的塑料制品,例如塑料袋、塑料瓶等,并非主要污染源。真正的问题在于塑料中含有的有毒重金属和其他化学物质,以及环境中的塑料微粒,例如通过焚烧塑料薄膜、飞机尾迹、汽车内饰等途径进入人体的塑料。 进入人体的塑料会储存在肝脏中,并可能影响免疫系统,但需要大量的塑料残留才能对免疫系统造成显著影响。与金属容器相比,塑料容器中的微塑料更容易排出体外。使用金属容器盛水存在健康风险,其危害远大于塑料容器,因为金属物质也会溶解到水中,被人体吸收。 人们在户外焚烧物品时会释放出大量的塑料微粒,对周围环境和人体健康造成危害。长期吸入塑料微粒会增加体内塑料含量,例如香薰蜡烛、空气清新剂等。可以通过一些草药和清洁方法来排出体内的塑料,例如橄榄叶、柠檬香脂、胡芦巴和毛蕊花叶等。保持免疫系统强壮,多摄入维生素B12、锌和维生素C等营养物质,也有助于排出体内的塑料。

Shownotes Transcript

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is looming over California, Hawaii and even Oregon. At some point far in the future there will be a price to pay for the billions of tons of plastic that has been dumped into the ocean that is now accumulated to larger than Texas. All it takes is that one dreaded earthquake that spurs on a tsunami and billions of tons of plastic will be barfed on the shores. Plastic is everywhere, it’s not going away, and the most dangerous exposure is breathing in the plastics in the air that come from various sources such as agricultural burning, domestic garbage burning, chem trails, hot cars sitting in the sun and so much more than just plastic bags and plastic water bottles. People running from plastic can accidentally run from a bee into a bus and have a worse situation on their hands. For instance, being so worried about drinking out of a plastic water bottle that they then choose to drink out of metal, steel, alloy and copper thermoses and metal bottles so that they get worse exposure than they realize. Plus, microplastics are easier to remove from the body. All is discussed in detail in this compelling episode.

In this episode…

Learn about the many different ways in which plastic surrounds us, for instance, in pharmaceutical drugs and our clothing.

Discover more about the West Coast dumping nightmare that is a looming powder keg ready to explode.

Uncover why The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is a prime example of abuse put upon the Earthly Mother.

Learn about plastic row covers and how they protect the plants on conventional farms—but where do they end up?

Discover why it’s not just plastic that’s the problem, it’s what’s inside of the plastic that can be.

Uncover why the plastics we hold in our hands or have around our food and water are not the main contaminator, and why it’s the environmental plastics falling out of the sky that are the real problem.

Learn how your car is one of the greatest places we get plastic in our system from every single day, and what you can do about it.

Discover how suntan lotion can have a plastic problem, and it’s not because the lotion itself have plastics in them.

Uncover where plastic goes when it enters our body and why it takes a lot for plastic by itself to hinder the immune system.

Discover why drinking out of plastic water bottles is different than drinking from metal containers.

Learn what your neighbor might be burning in their backyard that you’re breathing in.

All this and more, tune in and don’t miss out on this important episode. You can revisit this episode anytime you need it.
