Culture Apothecary with Alex Clark · The Great Recycling Scam: How Big Plastic Fooled America | Julia Cohen · 31 Jul 2026 podcast

It is in pretty much every part of our body that scientists have looked.

Right.

Yeah.

So it's not coating.

It's literally embedding.

So nanoplastics are being found in the vasculature in our brains, in our hearts, in the placenta, on the mother's side and the baby's side, in breast milk, in testes, in human and animal feces, everywhere.

Brains need fat to grow and to thrive.

And plastics absorb and are attracted to fats.

And the chemicals in plastic to make them clear, flexible, you know, hard, flame resistant, all of that is, you know, are also attracted to and attached to and part of those micro and nano plastics.

So you get the bioaccumulation not only of...

you know, the nanoparticles inside of veins and our bodies and animals' bodies and everything, but also all those chemicals.

I mean, the entire supply chain is is shedding microplastics.

Right.

So from, you know, the creation of plastic to the sharing of it, the using of it, the disposal of it all along the way, washing your clothes, etc.,

All of those things shed these particles that are in our water.

So you're drinking it, right?

It's in the air.

You're breathing it, right?

You're putting things on your body.

Your body is absorbing it.
