5% of our brain weight is now from microplastics. 🧠 Microplastics are found in our food, water, and air. 

Plastics love lipids. The human brain has the second highest lipid content in the body. They’ll stick there before passing the liver or kidneys to detox out. This accelerates chances of dementia, cancers, and/or diseases.

I’ve adjusted my lifestyle since this research. Change feels like big investments but these things last a lifetime with net positive for your health.

- read the label of all clothes for 100% organic bio available fabrics (no blends with plastics like polyester) like cotton, denim, wool, or linen. check out Pact or Everlane
- replaced plastic tupperware, cutting boards, and bowls to glass or stainless steel. Publicgoods.com is great for affordable eco home goods.
- changed the Brita filters to Brita Elite or Clearly Filtered bottles vs Stanley. Ideally, glass pitchers.

Check out Berkey filters

Also filters out fluoride and other impurities in the tap water

ffs fluoride is *good* for you in the quantities you have in tap water

don't tell me you're buying non-fluoride toothpaste too, because this is as anti-scientific as anti-vaxxing

> "In all, there is substantial and scientifically credible evidence establishing that fluoride poses a risk to human health; it is associated with a reduction in the IQ of children and is hazardous at dosages that are far too close to fluoride levels in the drinking water of the United States”
