1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,000 Speaker 1: Let's say good morning now to Board certified Family Medicine 2 00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:06,080 Speaker 1: physician and author of Your Guide to Cellular Health. It's 3 00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:10,240 Speaker 1: doctor Joseph mercola. Good morning, Doctor mccrola. 4 00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:12,280 Speaker 2: Good morning, Amy. 5 00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:15,600 Speaker 1: How are you doing good? But this is super disturbing. 6 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:19,160 Speaker 1: A lot of produce in California has residue of forever 7 00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:23,159 Speaker 1: chemicals on it. So first, can you please tell us 8 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:24,920 Speaker 1: what this study found about our fruit? 9 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 2: Yes, it's pretty pervasive in the food supply, for sure. 10 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 2: They're called the forever chemicals of course, PFAS is another 11 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 2: term firm, and they're a real problem. They're also where 12 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 2: do we get them from? It's probably the common question, right, yeah, 13 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 2: you know, And this is this is a perfect topic 14 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:48,880 Speaker 2: for Friday at thirteenth because this is the third Friday 15 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,680 Speaker 2: the thirteenth this year. We will be two of three. 16 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 2: But the getting bats in these chemicals. They're in gnostic pans, 17 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:01,280 Speaker 2: they're stained resistant clothing, they're firefighting phone, they're in personal 18 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,960 Speaker 2: care products, and half of American's tapwater is contaminated with them. 19 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 2: So you can drink it into water unless you're filtering it, 20 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:12,480 Speaker 2: and they don't break down. That's why they're called forever chemicals. 21 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:16,479 Speaker 2: Once they're in your body, some of them last eight 22 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,680 Speaker 2: years just to cut them in half. You don't outlive 23 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 2: these chemicals. They increase heart disease by get this, forty 24 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:29,680 Speaker 2: five percent. They double your risk of breast cancer. Serious problem. 25 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 1: Wow. Okay, so well that's very dire because it sounds 26 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,320 Speaker 1: like it's coming from everywhere. And then on the fruit. 27 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 1: Is that I mean are we just getting it like 28 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 1: because it's out there, or is it in pesticides or 29 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:44,919 Speaker 1: how does it get. 30 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 2: On the fruit? Well, it's in the environments. Okay, you 31 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 2: know it's it's in the it's as I said, it's 32 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 2: in the water, right, yeah, so fruit. You have to 33 00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 2: water these every plant pretty much water for the most 34 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 2: part of the words. They don't survive. But here's the thing. 35 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 2: Remember there they increase heart disease by forty five percent, 36 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 2: the w risk of breast cancer. But there's something ten 37 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:14,359 Speaker 2: times worse and almost nobody is talking about it. Do 38 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 2: you know what that is? No plastics. There's microplastics, nanoplastics, 39 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 2: tiny plastic particles are now inside every single human being 40 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 2: on the planet that forever. Chemicals that are about ninety 41 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:35,919 Speaker 2: seven percent of us. But everybody has microplastics everyone tested 42 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 2: one hundred percent. They're in your blood, they're in your brain, 43 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 2: they're in your heart, they're in your lungs. The New 44 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:42,799 Speaker 2: England's Riddle of Medicine. Get this one of the most 45 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 2: respective medical journals in the world. I'm sure you're aware 46 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 2: of that. They found that people with plastic particles in 47 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 2: their arteries had a four hundred and fifty percent increased 48 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,679 Speaker 2: risk of heart attack, stroke or death. Let me say 49 00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 2: that again, four hundred and fifty percent. That's times worse 50 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 2: than forever chemical and cancer. Eighty percent of long cancers 51 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:12,639 Speaker 2: they tested had plastic embedded inside the tumor, not near 52 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 2: the tumor inside it. 53 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,639 Speaker 1: Okay, so doctor Mrcola that I mean, these numbers are 54 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: just and the warnings are very staggering and sobering. And 55 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: what can we do because you're saying they're just in 56 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: there and they stay there. But what are some things 57 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,799 Speaker 1: that we can do to reduce our risks? 58 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 2: Well, you know, there's a lot of recommendations on it. 59 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 2: You can get a good water filter, you can throw 60 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 2: out your non stick pans, you can avoid certain products. 61 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 2: That helps. But plastics, that's harder. Most people think plastic 62 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 2: gets in your body from plastic bottles or food containers, 63 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 2: and that's part of it. But what almost nobody knows, 64 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 2: most of the plastic in your body comes from the air. 65 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 2: You breathe. Well, we all got to breathe, doctor, most 66 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 2: of it every breath you take. You're right, you've got 67 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 2: to breathe. You don't have a choice. No, been a 68 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 2: runner for nearly sixty years. And the faster you're wrung, 69 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 2: the more plastic you inhale, the harder you breathe, the 70 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 2: more you accumulates. So you've got to be careful. You 71 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 2: certainly want to avoid obvious sources of plastic, but you've 72 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 2: you've you can eat clean, you cannot. You can, but 73 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 2: you cannot stop reading. You can't avoid plastics. 74 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: So it's just sort of a foregone conclusion. We're just 75 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: going to have it. So but what are I mean? 76 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: Is there anything we can do to actually combat this? 77 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 2: Yes, I've known this for a long time. That's why 78 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 2: I wrote a book and it comes out. I think 79 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:41,600 Speaker 2: this what is it today available? Yeah, it came out. 80 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 2: It's called the Microplastic Cure. 81 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 1: Okay, the Microplastics on Amazon. 82 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:52,239 Speaker 2: Okay, we have now we I've developed a nanoscale plant 83 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 2: based protocol that bind to these particles, the micro nanoplastics, 84 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 2: the p fast have and heavy metal, and it helps 85 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 2: your body eliminate them. You don't need to be a doctor. 86 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 2: You just follow the steps I may make in the book. 87 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 2: It's the first real authentic solution. This is how you 88 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 2: get them out. 89 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 1: Okay, so it's called the microplastic cure and other things 90 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 1: we're talking about the fruit. Going back to that, if 91 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: they've got the residue on them, does just washing them 92 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: help or do you use some of the fruit cleansers. 93 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:30,480 Speaker 1: Does any of that help? 94 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, that will be got wise in the You know, 95 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 2: it's really hard though, because that's fruit. It is not 96 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 2: the primary source. You know, it's definitely a source. I'd 97 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 2: be careful, and I believe fruit are one of the 98 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 2: healthiest foods on the planet. I believe everyone needs them. 99 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:51,279 Speaker 2: It's a massive source of potassium fibers that's a feature 100 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:55,279 Speaker 2: gut and actually water too. I mean I have three 101 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 2: pounds of watermelon day and most of my water comes 102 00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 2: from watermelon. So I think everyone should et food. And 103 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 2: like watermel has a thick shell, so no matter what 104 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 2: you're spraying very little of it goes into the fruit. 105 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 2: That's why even organic isn't necessary necessary. I mean, the 106 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 2: organ is typically better for other reasons, but when you 107 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 2: have a fruit that you're eating the peel, then it's 108 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 2: more problematic. 109 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,479 Speaker 1: Well, that's like why they're saying that ninety percent of 110 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 1: the peaches and nectarines they've got that soft skin that's 111 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 1: probably more absorbent. Yeah, right, Okay. The Microplastic Cure is 112 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:33,279 Speaker 1: the book. It's Board certified Family medicine physician, doctor Joseph Mercola. 113 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: Thanks so much for your information today. 114 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 2: Thank you, Amy. All right, take care, I appreciate Bye.
