Kim Bright on Fighting Microplastics in Our Bodies and Brains

Microplastic Contamination in the Body

• 🧠 Microplastics are found in significant concentrations in the human brain, with studies showing 7-10 times more in the brain than in the kidneys or liver.
• ⚠️ Individuals with dementia had 10 times more microplastics in their brains compared to others.
• 💧 94% of US tap water and bottled water worldwide contain microplastics, making them nearly impossible to filter out completely.
• 🍽️ 88% of meats, fish, and vegetarian meats are found to contain microplastics, with the average American ingesting 11,500 microplastics annually.
• 🤯 Some sources suggest our brains are now 99.5% human and 0.5% plastic.

Sources and Health Impacts of Microplastics

• 🚀 Rocket launches contribute to microplastic pollution in the upper atmosphere, which then spreads globally into waterways, soils, and the food chain.
• 👚 Polyester clothing, especially when worn close to the skin and exposed to heat, releases microplastics (like BPA) that can lower sperm count and cause reproductive problems.
• 🤰 Breast milk has been found to contain these microplastics, leading to inundation from birth.
• 💔 Studies link microplastics in blood clots to a higher risk of heart attacks and strokes.
• 📈 Microplastics are also linked to diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and obesity.
• ⚡ They can trigger the release of harmful free radicals, accelerating aging and causing oxidative stress.

Kimchi as a Solution for Microplastic Degradation

• 💡 Kimchi contains over 900 unique probiotics, including Bacillus pumilus, which can bind to and degrade microplastics and nanoplastics in the body.
• 🇰🇷 Koreans, who traditionally consume kimchi daily, live an average of six years longer than Americans, suggesting a link to better health outcomes.
• 🦠 The probiotics in kimchi not only degrade microplastics but also help rebalance the gut microbiome, combating yeast overgrowth, candida, and parasites.
• 💊 While probiotics bind to microplastics, Bacillus pumilus is noted as the only known substance that can degrade BPA.

Practical Steps to Reduce Microplastic Exposure

• 🚫 Avoid microwaving food in plastic containers and remove food from plastic packaging before cooking in toaster ovens.
• 👕 Opt for natural, breathable fabrics like cotton, linen, and wool instead of polyester for clothing and underwear.
• 🥫 Avoid canned foods and infant formula that may be lined with BPA.
• 💧 Be aware of microplastics in drinking water, even from PVC pipes.
