    [Patreon Preview] Should We Be Worried About Microplastics?

    Maybe you’ve heard the news. Microplastics are on top of Mount Everest, the bottom of the ocean, in our blood, breastmilk, vital organs, and testicles. They are pervasive and the scope of their effect on our health is only just beginning to be understood. Today’s episode lays out what microplastics (and nanoplastics, goodie!) are, where they come from, and what the early science says (it’s not good). Also discussed: small, easy, meaningful actions we can take to minimize our exposure to microplastics in our daily life.
