0:00Microplastics, which is something that's in the zeitgeist now, is a problem that people are worried about, freaked out about, don't know what to do about.

0:06People have measured them in their blood, they've been measured in placentas, they've been measured in seminal fluid, they've been measured in breast milk.

0:13They're breakdown products, very small breakdown products of plastic, and do harm in two ways.

0:19They carry the chemical, the chemical is piggybacked on the little particle, and then they invade the cells.

0:24And that invasion, their presence in the human body, in the cell, itself causes harm.

0:30It's not anything you have any control over, really, because they're so prevalent in our water and in our air and in everything we eat and smell and drink.

0:42Where are they coming from?

0:44And the answer is everywhere, and that's kind of scary.

0:47Let's talk about the testing.

0:48Is it worth people doing the testing?

0:50If you want to learn what's in your body and then commit to go on and make changes in your life, you can.

0:57Today I'm joined by Dr.

0:58Shanna Swan to discuss the invisible threat of microplastics.
