And then, of course, if you're under stress and you have nutritional deficiencies and develop cell toxicity, those create low T as well.
And avoiding the plastic bottles, that's not going to be enough.
We've got to do something proactive to rid our bodies of these microplastic toxins.
Right, because these plastics, they last a long time.
These chemicals last in the soil a long time.
And when they get heat applied to them, their bonds become even stronger.
So I was so excited, Adam, to find this study where I found something that actually degrades BPA, which is the most toxic chemical that's in the plastic.
It's degraded by Bacillus pumulus.
Now, this they found in this study, and that's a unique strain of bacteria that's found in a centuries old fermented food called kimchi.
And BPA actually blocks testosterone because each of our cells have receptor sites on them.
And what happens is instead of being filled with testosterone and zinc and other things that are supposed to be there in each and every receptor site,
it gets filled with BPA and heavy metals.
And these plastics are just devastating our whole body.
I mean, and this study found that BPA actually degrades the, you know, by using the Bacillus pumilus in the kimchi, and it's unique to kimchi.
And then I found another study where it showed two other lactobacillus strains that are also found in kimchi actually will absorb and excrete the microplastics in vivo, meaning in something that's alive.
Bacillus parcassii and Bacillus plantarum.
So this was very exciting because there was nothing up until this point that I could find that was going to be able to
do something about all these plastics that are in our body.
And another thing, too, I wanted to let people know is they alter these microplastics are altering our DNA.
They're causing DNA damage.
