The cost of me taking this prescription is basically nothing, and there might be benefit. So why not? It seems pretty reasonable to me.

It's an interesting point. I did. There were a lot of studies actually that came out last year. I think starting with one in the New England Journal about microplastics in plaque. And it was pretty shocking. I think I did a video a while back on ways to avoid microplastics. And I was doing the research for it and it was just like the most depressing thing. They're everywhere.

They're literally everywhere. How can you avoid it? And I think it's one of those things where... I'm not sure what the absolute risk exposure is and how we need to reevaluate what our modern risk profile might be as we age, you and me being generally younger men versus, say, our grandfathers.

I think it's something to take into consideration independently and then do your best to try to, you know, avoid. I think my impression is, yes, they're everywhere, but there is still the big like heavy hitting items you can avoid. So I don't get plastic takeout containers and microwave plastic. Do not microwave your food in plastic. Don't have plastic water bottles, things like that.

Maybe if you get some grass-fed regenerative beef, there might be a little microplastic in there. I think that's probably a lower absolute exposure than the things that people typically do. So if you carry around a water canteen and use purified, filtered water, you're not microwaving in plastics. I think that probably should bring most people a decent peace of mind.

Other than that, it's just like, what can you do in your lifestyle? For example, I live in downtown Boston. you know, next to a couple hospitals. We live there because my girlfriend works at one. She has to get up at like 4 a.m. for her surgical residency. So like it makes sense to live in a city. In the city, is the air quality that great? No. Is there probably a lot of plastic exposure?

Yes, but it's where I am in my life. So I think everybody just kind of needs to make the... reasonable decision for themselves and realize that might not be perfect. So yeah, microplastics, probably a problem. Do what you can. That's where I stand.
