MAHA vs Microplastics – To Ensure the First, Get Rid of the Second!
American children are being sickened by toxic partisan ideology.

If Americans are ever to be healthy again, an effective response to ubiquitous microplastics will be essential. Recent confirmation hearings of the MAHA maven Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. focused on his supposed vaccine and abortion positions while mainly ignoring his opening statement centered on American diets. Industrially-backed officials may thrust their ostrich heads in the political sands, but America’s babies and children are left exposed to toxic chemicals in the meantime – especially microplastics.
*** and ***
Studies increasingly demonstrate toxic threats to developing children’s bodies from microplastics and chemicals called phthalates (plasticizers) used in plastic containers and food service gloves. A recent study of human brains found an average equivalent of a plastic spoon’s worth of microplastics per brain, an increase of 50% in eight years. A 2023 study estimated that humans are inhaling the equivalent of a credit card per week of microplastics.

The visual of a “credit card per week” made a traumatic impression upon me. Don’t know why? For me at the end of life’s journey, not much worries me.
BUT, (and there is always a BIG butt), what about the little children?
That can’t be good for them. Not sure how the average parent prevents that, but I’d sure like to know.
Argh!
