When I did my tox fellowship back in the early 20s, I did a lab rotation in the toxicology lab and we did GCMS on urine samples from patients.

And we'd be looking at these tiny, tiny little peaks way down, looking at, you know, trying to

identify that particular substance, but next to them, there'd be this huge peak.

And I was like, what is that?

Because every patient had it.

And you know what the lab director said?

And he's, you know, an amazing, so smart, way smarter than me, PhD toxicologist, you know?

And he said, that's just phthalates.

I'm like, what is phthalates?

Phthalates, spelled with a P, P-T-H-A-L-A-T.

Phthalates, yes.

It is a microplastic.

And it's in everybody's system.

Everybody has it.

And it is not from the lab equipment.

It's in our urine.

It's in our blood.

We all have it.

So the people who are like, I need a BPA-free bottle, you know what?

That ship has sailed.
