For those interested in microplastics, there's a new documentary out worth watching: Plastic People: The Hidden Crisis of Microplastics. And my Substack newsletter, ContamiNation has recent pieces on microplastics' effects on human health and how PFAS can adhere to microplastics, creating an added health threat.

Any home water supply using PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) and/or PVC (polyvinyl chloride) is likely to make home water systems also contain plastics.

Plastic has also been found in the lining of aluminum products.

Don't forget so many containers - from supposedly healthy supplements, to supposedly healthy food, to the produce bags at the store, to personal care products, use plastic in packaging.

People seemed to have much fewer problems when the "milkman" came once a week with unpasteurized milk from non GMO cows in glass bottles.

Another issue is whether it's tap water or bottled water, it can still contain fluoride, which is harmful to the thyroid and brain. After developing a thyroid condition, I finally believed the high fluoride prescription toothpaste I had been using and aluminum deodorant were not so good for me after all, even if the thyroid condition was due, at least in part, due to mold toxicity. Despite being poisoned, I feel like it was a positive sign for me to take radical changes to live a healthier live and be more aware and study the work and research you do.

Thank you for keeping up the good fight!

Best wishes,

Jennifer
