Endocrine Disruptors - Common Chemicals That Severely Alter Your Hormones - Dr. Shanna Swan
Shanna H. Swan, Ph.D., is one of the world’s leading environmental and reproductive epidemiologists and a professor of environmental medicine and public health at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City. An award-winning scientist, her work examines the impact of environmental exposures, including chemicals such as phthalates and Bisphenol A, on men’s and women’s reproductive health and the neurodevelopment of children.

Here is a link to the new study pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36377...
In this video we explore how endocrine disruptors, in everyday things we use, are altering our hormones and reproductive systems. We've seen a massive decline in testosterone, fertility and other markers. Could this explain some of the social changes as well?
0:00 - New Findings
3:44 - What's causing this?
11:11 - Anogenital Distance
15:52 - Where does this all lead?
17:46 - Population Decline
25:40 - Addiction to plastic
29:07 - LGBTQ & Endocrine Disruptors
36:08 - What to do if you want kids
39:06 - Future research
One important thing to note - products that don't contain phthalates and Bisphenol are more expensive. Services, like assisted reproduction, can only be accessed by those who can afford it. The ability to have a baby has become something of a class issue as well.

My wife and I were looking at bread labels while shopping and on average, each loaf had over 20 ingredients. I thought it was water, flower, yeast and salt. We found the same with soup, cereal, canned goods, nearly everything. All the changes in preservatives, flavor and color enhancers and packaging over my 67 years have no doubt impacted our quality of life. We all need to pay more attention to labels.
And now food is also labeled "distributed by (insert corporate name)" so one does not even know the country, or state, etc of origin. Shame on all of us for allowing this travesty of accountability.
All FDA approved. You know, because they care about us so much... just like the CDC.
I've seen "genetically modified" and "contains genetically engineered ingredient" on more and more products. It's just one of so many things that gives me the feeling that we are under attack, and have been for some time.

i think amish people are way too disconnected from society to be a good control group. do they even take basic antbiotics?
@@wtfimcrying They would be a good control group precisely because they are disconnected from modern society. If they do not show the effect, or show a reduced effect size, then we can pretty confidently say that whatever is causing this is caused by something the amish abstain from.

I'm Mongolian and my grandpa said about how pollution, phones and all these modern things are giving kids health defects and making them weak. His a soviet era doctorate in veterinarian primarily farm animals still works in the countryside to this day. He observed his dead animals and would check their stomachs and does his own diagnoses. When my aunt got pregnant with her child she stayed in the countryside doing what people did before modern industrialization when the kid was born grandpa decided he would make sure the kid stays in the countryside as much as he can (basically 90% of the time). Grandpa always kept saying how look how much healthier he is compared to other kids. Be being a teenager I wouldn't know too well since I haven't seen that many babies still can't say now since I'm just 23. From this its very clear grandpa knew what he was talking about.

I'm a biologist and have have seen nearly two decades of peer-reviewed articles about the effects of endocrine disruptors on fish and amphibian populations. It's hardly a stretch to think that many of those same effects would apply to mammals - including humans - that depend on the same water supplies. It's almost a null hypothesis, yet it's a 3rd rail to inquire whether these same things are happening to us, and have implications in fertility, sexuality, gender identification, behavioral health, etc.
I think we can be pretty sure now, although a little common sense back then, even if not backed by evidence, could've gone a long way for human health. Now these problems are still not being addressed despite all the evidence popping up
And LGBT comes to say no, pretending they are confident.

As a medicinal chemist, I'm glad you're getting this information out, however let me point out that phthalate ester plasticizers and bisphenol A aren't made from byproducts, they originate in the standard petrochemical feedstocks which are manufactured for many different products. Also Atrazine isn't a pesticide, it's an herbicide, but it's definitely toxic. Here in northern California we've had battles against atrazine spraying. I suppose the perfluoroalkanoates and other "forever chemicals" are also cryptoestrogens, and they'll be around for awhile...
Zzzzzz
I’m glad you corrected her mistakes. This is a serious issue, but she veered into non scientific areas that bordered on personal opinion without good facts at points near the end. In essence she contradicted herself. This is either a problem and defect caused by environment or it is not. Being happy with your being and denying defect are two different things. If they are ignored and not avoided it will not good for society, the species or the movement towards solving these problems. Political implications be damned.
Unless I missed it, I did not hear anything about other chemical hormonal disruption such as the beginning of birth control pill use, which started in the late 1950s & early 60s. That time correlates to the beginning of downward sperm counts illustrated on her graph. Also hormones from the pill are excreted into the environment & subsequently are ingested by the general population involuntarily. It seems this would add to the plastic and other stated chemical proliferation in our environment.
I was thinking this too.
I agree with your questions. You should write her an email with your questions.
I just emailed her & will share response when received. Thank you for the suggestion.
I would say the J A Bs everyone got between 2017 and 2022 must surely be the cause.
Over here in the Netherlands, our government has been doing studies into PFAS and how much is in humans, especially teens. As it turns out, ALL teens had enough PFAS substances in their blood to say that there are likely going to be health consequences. How much consequences is still hard to tell, but they even said it was basicly unavoidable until regulations are in place. It's nearly impossible to avoid PFAS, even if you try. Toothpaste, Sunscreen, Shampoo, Deoderant, Food wrapping, bottles, the literal air, food itself...

And you already knows there’s a price tag attached
It's also evaporated in the atmosphere and rained down, so even organically farmed food is contaminated. The only workaround that I've concluded to reduce food contamination is to farm in a Freight container farm that grows hydroponically. You'd need water that has been purified with a zero-water filter and then add in the necessary bacteria, minerals, and nutrients needed for growth.
@@ninawhiskers87 we’re headed towards the book the giver lifestyle

Thank you! My mother was a school teacher. From the 1970-2021. I remember her saying in the early 2000 when she had been teaching a grade 3/4 class age 7-10 (edit added age group for Canadian classes)for many years, that something has changed..."what's in the water!?!?" Would be her exasperated statement. Puberty occuring way earlier, far more learning disabilities and emotional control issues. She said she used to teach children, now they are preteens - same biological age.
The government is doing a cull.
They're probably trying to grow people faster so they can put them out into the workforce and sap them for resources.
There's a huge change in the concentration span of children since the 1970s. I used to think my parents were mean for avoiding food colourings and not allowing us to have fizzy drinks, but I did the same with my own children. This was back when most of these drinks were packaged in glass rather than cans or plastics. The problem will be worse now. Dr Swan talked a lot about addiction and habits. Our societies seem to be blighted by a kind of communal ADHD. That's bound to have a knock on effect on anxiety and libido, even without the drop in fertility. The weird thing about testosterone is that it's associated with aggression. Yet, as testosterone levels are falling there seems to be more free floating aggression in the way people interact generally. There is research that shows that aggression in girls is associated with earlier puberty. Early onset puberty is linked to violence around the child. Low impulse control in one or both parents is also a factor. So it's a vicious cycle and the change is real. It's scary that basic human nature has been altered so radically in a few years. I hope no-one told your mum that she was imagining the changes she observed.
Puberty ISN'T occurring earlier though. It's just because we "live" -read EXIST in MISERY until our sixties or seventies instead of dying in our forties or fifties like in the early 1900s... We are stuck with insisting that nonstatutory physical adults are children and need to justify the finishing of puberty for females at 15-16 somehow. They have ALWAYS finished puberty at 15-16.
@@nunyabeezwax6758 The average age for a girl to start their first period in the UK, in the 1960s was 13.5. Currently that's dropped to between 11 & 12. Back in the 1840s women were having their first period somewhere between the ages of 16-17 years old! I'd guess in the the 1840s, malnutrition was also part of the problem. That's a significant mismatch of the physical maturity of a child to their emotional and social development.
This is the world’s most pressing looming societal and existential crisis nobody’s talking about to the detail necessary to emphasize its importance. Good job in demonstrating and raising awareness.
Its not a crisis. It is nature acting to slow our birthrate at a time when we are overpopulated

These companies know what they have done. So many studies readily available. However Dr. Swan always presents so eloquently. Thank you After Skool for this presentation.
Exactly. This isn’t an “unintended consequence” this was the goal. “Maintain the population at 500000000 in perfect balance with nature”? The powers that shouldn’t be have wanted us dead for a long time. The Vatican always plays an extremely long game, so do the globoligarchs.
I’m sure the companies are aware. We’ve seen companies become aware of their products potential for poisoning but sweep it under the rug time and time again. It’s nothing new. Leaded gas, Teflon, pesticides, the medical industry, etc.
Notice how she forgets the vaccine issue with fertility?! WTF If they only knew that giving people a good life makes women less apt to want kids. Scandinavia is the best example of how giving people a good life reduces reproduction
Exactly, people make excuses for them because they're the sheep. 'The wolf would never hurt me', they say, "I'll keep grazing." 'My shepherd won't let any harm come my way'; until they're on a diner plate. I've been aware of all of this the doctor spoke of for several years, and what have the companies done? Gotten worse. They knew almost 100 years ago what was happening. There is below 0 concern for you as a human being. You are a number, and a number they want reduced. Nothing more, nothing less, from their perspective. They lie about modern slavery. It's actually promoted now as long as it's in 3rd world countries. The plan is for them to own everything, meanwhile, letting us waste away as they take a power grab. Sums it up mostly... 🤔💯🤦♂️

Yes, it’s wild. Explaining a lot. I think this is why there’s a big push on transsexual and homosexual lifestyles right now because they know that they’re feeding us chemicals to actually alter our behaviors master of manipulation
Definitely
It shocked me when she disagreed that this was intentional. I remember the video where she said something a long the lines of "we petitioned to get one dangerous chemical removed from products for them only to put another one back in that caused the exact same problems or worse", and she thinks its not intentional population reduction policy? "fool me once, shame on me, fool me twice, shame on you." How many times do they either subtly or outright tell us they want to reduce the world population and how important it is that we do? A LOT of times! On a side note, its pretty clear shes very careful how she says something to avoid being put in one group or another, so I personally think she knows its intentional, she just doesn't want to be denigrated by the media and put in the "tin foil hat conspiracy" category of scientist. This is what the world has come to!
I just bought a canvas print to support this wonderful channel. it's a beautiful picture that reminds me to check myself about what really matters. Thank you for everything you do.
It’s actually very rare to encounter a person that actually cares about harmful chemicals in the food supply and more nowadays in my experience. Once I point out a harmful ingredient on a food package my family metaphorically plugs their ears, lol

Excellent. This video should be required viewing for teachers, pregnant couples, counselors, and bigots.
I would say that there's no group of people who may safely be excluded from mandatory viewing. Consider the emphasis on economics about 2/3 the way through the video, where business are churning out plastics because there's a market for their consumption. This means that, ultimately, **consumers** are the problem. Because if there's no market for a product or service, it's not profitable; and if it's not profitable, then there won't be any incentive for businesses to produce it. If someone is, or likely will be, a 'consumer', then this information ought to be mandatory viewing by them. Which, essentially, means everyone.

This interview is illuminating. And also despairing.

And how our world is being turned upside down by the side-effects of modern convenience. And how the next 30 years or so will be defined by a demographic crisis which will force an entirely new structure to our civilization -however painfully- if we are to survive at all. Yikes.

@@queenvagabond8787 this is the optimism needed to match the looming troubles. Good outlook
@@NCRonrad Yeah, it just always seemed a bit of a dumb argument "Oh, we need to keep increasing the number of young people to match the increasing number of old people." On the surface, that makes some logical sense, but in reality, thats a problem that will never resolve itself, just one that will keep growing. Its the same misguided approach that causes people to endorse unbridled capitalism - 'Growth' cannot continue indefinitely in a system with finite resources. Even if we do find a way to exploit resources off-world, we still need to grow in a manageable way, and we should also be prepared to shrink, as a global society, in order to manage our resources. The best way to do this is as a unified global society in a well thought out and organised manner, because if we don't, the only other option will be uncontrolled war, famine, environmental collapse and social purges. Only people with fascistic and intolerant beliefs think that would be an acceptable outcome.

@@pramitpratimdas8198 your confused and missing lots of information.
This was a fantastic interview. I would like to push back on the idea that people want these kinds of products. As a person who tries very hard to stay away from them, it is almost impossible at this point. It is hard to find an uncoated anymore. Even though bio plastics have been created, profit driven companies are not using them. Most of us in fact would much prefer not to be using these problematic items but how are we as individuals supposed to turn the tide when companies have received personhood and places like Dupont will simply change a chemical compound by one chain to make it technically legal but equally detrimental? We are past the point of no return as consumers in terms of our buying power. It used to matter what the consumer did and didn’t want, but that is no longer the case. It is not as if there is a good option and a bad option and we all keep purchasing the bad option, the good option is no longer available to us. Everything has become shareholder driven and as a result accountability now falls in the hands of the corporations… And we all know it’ll be a cold day in hell before ethics drives their decisions. The changes we can make as individuals really only boil down to recognizing how little of the things we purchase, we actually need, but there is a much larger and faster turning of the tide that could happen if chemical companies had some sort of moral compass and unfortunately they do not.
Wow. We started getting plastic out of our household several years ago, but there’s still so much more that cannot be avoided, yet. I highly commend this precise, sensitive and factual presentation. Thank you.

But doesn't this warrant a "doomer" response. The graph she showed is not constant. It's speeding up. Shouldn't more people be alarmed?

Your guest was spot on. It is economics, aka profit at any price. Citizens didn't have a choice. People didn't want water in plastic bottles! I lived on a yacht for sometime, after I had my one child, I ventured into a big city in 1989. Before I left, there were water fountains within the city. When I came back, most water fountains had been removed. I had to go into a shop and ask for a glass of water. They thought I was odd. Anyway, soon after, everyone had to buy water at exorbitant prices in plastic bottles. So we have been forced into this because of greed. The fossil fuel industry should be made to clean up the plastics that are floating in waterways ,oceans, and leaching into ground water. Sadly, the planet is stuffed.
There is no need to worry.
When bottled water appeared in the supermarkets in my country I honestly wondered who in their right mind would buy it when we already had access to potable water from the taps in our homes. Yet people did for reasons I still can't fathom. Some people said they bought it because they didn't like the taste of tap water, but why buy bottled instead of buying a filter?! I still don't get it.
An older family member told us that many years ago, when he was growing up on a farm in Europe, the villagers would line the street to see the rare auto traveling thru. “And, man, you could smell the exhaust for hours!”
makes you wonder if the world just smells like that now, like how when you put on a scented candle you forget what it smells like a couple minutes later because youre used to it
Its like when i go to mexico, i kid you not as soon as you cross the border its smells like exhaust
Thank you, and your colleagues, for your patient and meticulous efforts that have brought this critical information to the world! Thank you for all the sleepless nights, for refusing to be defeated by setbacks and doubts, and for resisting the urge to commit potentially unlawful shenanigans when your computers crashed... just before hitting, "save". We ALL, as one Human Race, are forever in your debt. In Science We Trust.
As a 22 year old male studying molecular medicine this is incredibly shocking and interesting. I am happy to discover this knowledge today, so I can prepare for a wonderful future for my yet to be born children. Thank you very much for the video.
Incredibly elucidating!!! I just assumed all those plastics had been tested for safety, but Big business can buy its way to "safety". Extremely scary. Please make more videos getting the truth out on how our health is being destroyed because big business profits can buy their way to any product approvals!!!
Amazing how science follows the money
A problem we have now is that we are too many people to rely on natural materials too, so we can't move away from plastics
There is this illusion we can all go back to methods we used a 100 years ago. We cant. Billions would starve.
@@vedmaburuxova68 But we can expect some durable bottles to fill up at automatic drink stations.
@@jr.fidelcastro8890 we just recently started getting these. Soviet Russia had to be so careful with their limited resources and didn't have the global supply chain for ultracheap disposable bottles that they had them as well. BYOC or use the communal glass on a chain (very unsanitary, but this wasn't a huge issue for them). Still water was free, but they also had some sodas as well for a really low price of a few kopek.
This "alternative" (not a conspiracy) theory took longer than most to hit the mainstream.
As Moses said in the bible a few millennia ago, we are a ‘stiff necked’ (stubborn) people…
Oh, it's a conspiracy alright.
It’s definitely a conspiracy, at least some of it. It’s a broad subject but much corruption is going on
It's on purpose, they've known since the camps
This issue was silenced just long enough for the damage to take significant hold...
This video should have billions of views.
Some background, at 2 years old I had pneumonia which lead to a condition called bronchiectasis which the doctors of the time (1950's) decided they could cure with penicillin so for 14 days I received 5 needles of of penicillin each night. Years later (1980's) when I tried to start a family I found I was sterile and often wondered why because the experts could tell me nothing. One day I was working in a shop and met a sales rep who had been through the exact same experience. He'd been jabbed into severe white coat syndrome, his teeth had turned a horrible yellow and he found out he was sterile. I firmly believe that the antibiotics fed to our young people and our livestock are destroying our fertility. Via the sewers and waterways all life is being impacted and I sincerely doubt that big pharma will ever admit to a problem.
I've been thinking about this since Alex Jones went on his "gay frogs" rant and I just didn't have the data other than the changes in culture over the past 50 years. Thank you so much for uploading this. You two are courageous beyond measure and should be supported. If I could give 1k likes I would.
I thought that Jones was hilariously unhinged, but again right to some measure.
Lol again - when left handedness stopped being percieved as mental illness and demonic possession, the number of left handed people shot up. This means very little
Jones literally waved the scientific papers as he ranted. You people are weird
@@damnmexican90 The scientific papers were there. However, Alex Jones said it in a meme worthy way, and that is what spread awareness.
@@skylinefever most people mocked him as crazy. That's what I'm getting at. He said it, he was clear, he showed proof. And because he did a bit of theatre, the masses laughed and said he's crazy and over exaggerating, even though everything he said was said by those scientists. That's what I'm getting at. When confronted with the truth, people don't give a shit about it because it wasn't said in the way they demand it be said. This is a serious problem with people, especially in the west.

I LOVE SHANNA SWAN. Air pollution, water pollution, food pollution... etc... these things that we know with absolute certainty exist and can be controlled. Instead of talking about global warming, we should be talking about how pollution of different variety is affecting us in our everyday lives to a mortally significant degree
Huge thank you to Dr. Shanna Swan. Her research is essential. What do you think of this longer format? Do you prefer the shorter, scripted animations?
I like it
No matter how long or short the video is, We want complete information and the responsibility is on your shoulders...
This format is fucking amazing
@@Sh1vam18 I better start doing more shoulder press then
This format is much better. Thank you for this info; the infertility rate over such a short period of time is staggering. This greatly helps explain the causes of worldwide population decline. Most people think the opposite is true: population expansion. I hope those who think so find this highly detailed news piece.
Wow. I always knew even as a child there was something very wrong with our modern world and the way we are pushed to live our lives. And it’s like every year now more information comes out that reinstates that belief.
Don't worry, it will all change soon. Very soon.

A great video, very educative. Wonderfully narrated so that a common man can also understand the impact of chemicals.
Time to go back on the JRE and talk about these results, Mrs. Swan!
I’m surprised she didn’t mention the sedentary lifestyle that people have developed in recent years. People are not as active as they used to be, which impacts testosterone and estrogen levels. She’s mentioned this before in a previous study, she has conducted.
cuz she got an agenda to sell
@@alexanderlipowsky6055 and that agenda is right o|o
Definitely. Sunlight is also involved with manufacturing testosterone in the body. And most people work inside all day long. Start taking walks.
She didn't focus on it, but definitely implied it, in the lifestyle section.
the drawings did.. it was their with the tiktok drawing ang person with junk foods.
Shanna Swan, you are the epitomy of a scientist, the way a scientist should be. Kudos, and much respect. Thank you!
She fails to condemn what is happening.
@@karljuhnke8882did you not watch the video? She is ONLY Condemning what is happening and trying to spread awareness so that action can be taken.
There is no need to worry.
She's 87 and still going strong. May she live another 87 years!
@theeclectic2919 we all know that won't happen scrotum
It's 1000% deliberate
What an informative video. Thank you so much for this.
About 26 minutes into the video she was asked if she thought this trend is deliberate. She replied, no. Then she goes on to basically say that corporate interests are to blame. But she doesn't think it's deliberate... The problem is that smart people who are supposed to be on our side are incapable of making this very obvious connection. We're Deliberately in poor health because of corporate interests. Period. The university never teaches them who they can and can't trust...
You misunderstood. Corporations are very obviously deliberately using these chemicals. It is deliberate as they are buying and making and using these chemicals. They know they exist and are present. That part is clearly deliberate. What isn't clear is whether or not they are part of a secret plot to deliberately poison the world's population to reduce testosterone. There is no evidence to support that and simple capitalism and self interest equally explains why they continue to use it. Let's take an example from sugar. Sugar causes all kinds of problems in the body, but it is also addictive. Food makers use sugar knowing it can cause all kinds of problems in the body. Now are food makers doing so in a plot to hurt consumers, or do they use it because it is addictive and will sell more food, or both?
Facts how they can be so blind is beyond me.
There's a rhetorical difference. Deliberate in this context implies it would be done with the explicit purpose of harming people, which is not the case, instead they're willfully ignoring the problem and just do the bare minimum to adhere to lackluster regulations, because that's what a company has to do to survive and thrive.
The greed and seeking financial gain is deliberate... That's what she meant. The effect it is having on everyone else is the byproduct.
It was meant to harm us. Trust me they think of you as goi
If manufacturers know about this and continue to produce and sell it, then yes, it’s deliberate.
Thank You, Dr. Shanna Swan
Here’s something to look into: If all of these chemicals are doing this, why is the FDA allowing them to be used? And who holds them accountable? Does the CDC have any part in anything here?
This is terrifying, imagining all the products we use daily, the lifestyle we adapt I mean it’s everywhere the food we eat the things we clean with, giving all these things up is really hard especially when it’s everywhere. Thanks for this amazing video!
Everything comes with a price. We live substantially longer lives now than at any point in human history.
Not very hard if you know where to look! I pretty much only shop at natural grocers and have for years! They have organic produce and organic cleaning products/hygiene etc. easy to find all of this stuff affordable at places like that just find one in your area! Or shop online if need be
@@Coalition4NewerVision if it's about control, at the end of the day, wouldnt these people find a way to infect those organic products as well? Just bringing up the idea. It's like the bs that's labeled as organic at regular grocery stores, meat that is "plant based" and stuff. Like, to me, it seems like these big companies wouldnt allow a single gap in their agenda to slip.
I mean, in a sense, at least we don't have to worry as much about overpopulation tho...
@@kebman that’s largely a myth for the average country. I’m not Chinese or Indian so can’t speak on that but I think every other country doesn’t have any overpopulation problem. In fact Japan for instance has an under population problem. Not enough children
You know.... 30yrs ago some of us were trying to tell people about this.. but we were shouted down, insulted and ridiculed as nut job Conspiracy Theorists.... well I'm just thankful this zeitgeist and particular paradigm is filtering into common parlance.. and the eradication of ultracrepidarianism is successful!
It’s ironic to me that as time goes on it’s becoming clear that the trope ‘you can’t handle the truth!’ becomes more and more accurate
@@Cardioid2035 only because more lies and gaslighting exponentially exacerbate the previous ones from people who do not realize they qualify for a DSM5 diagnosis.
"Cancel culture" works as a type of programming because they have trained people to feel bad for not following the masses, even if what is followed is completely wrong and they know it. Going against truth and your innerstanding so long will leave one confused and unable to detect absolute truth. This is called gaslighting!
The vast majority conspiracy theories end up being true.
@@PBVader Is your stance for or against the narrative of this video?
Captivating and brilliant all the way through ❤🎉
I’m quite shocked the most important question was NOT asked. If you STOP using products with these chemicals (I.e. drinking from plastic bottles, etc) will the body recover itself and naturally increase its testosterone levels? If not, then what can someone do to help rid the chemicals from the body? If so, then what does that timeline look like for the body to naturally heal itself? I wish these questions were asked.
Exactly
It will recover
Unfortunately, plastic and it’s chemicals is pretty much omnipresent in all environments. Personally mitigating or minimising it would be difficult.
Plastic comes from nature lmao. I love how people act like its plague bacteria. Try testing those who drink beer and soda vs those who only drink water and natural no sugar added juices... its a hydration issue. Not plastic
How would you record or know if genetics were involved lmao? Anyone who didnt reproduce wouldnt be in recorded or remembered after so many generations....
👍 This video was outstanding in its clarity and its massively important implications. I established in Florida between 1978 and 1985 a congenital malformation surveillance system for the state health department in order to develop a baseline for future comparison of increases or decreases in reproductive health. Dr. Swan is a communicator of such excellence it is hard to overstate her invaluable contribution to science in the public interest. And Mark's ability to illustrate her messages is a thing of beauty. Thank you both.
Marks illustrations always look the same for years now. Everything that fits in his simple narrative of Techno-Mordor against the holy spiritual nature soul. And as he finds himself outstandingly farsighted, so do his viewers, as you can tell.

probably one of the most useful, informative, and must know video i have come across on youtube. thank you Dr. Swan for your work and thanks to the creator sharing this information.
Great video! The plastics are everywhere in our environment and is a huge reason I’m invested in making my own cleaners, soaps, and so forth. There’s also places you can buy in bulk using glass containers, of course what’s offered is very health conscious foods and products. I gave up my reusable BPA free water bottle years ago for a Hydroflask.
This is a very elaborate plan .
Thank you for the video. An interview with a Doctor committed to Truth, Integrity, Dignity, and the Hippocratic Oath would juxtapose perfectly this interview with a Doctor committed to political correctness.
As someone who doesn’t eat foods with preservatives often and is quite active, I feel quite good about myself after listening to this. Thank you for shedding light on this important issue in modern society!
Well yeah but the rest of the world doesnt, You cant change that many people
That's great! It's always nice to hear validation that one has been doing things right 😊
The problem is not only in foods with preservatives, it is when we come into contact with plastics. You ingest microplastics when you drink from a water bottle or meat wrapped with plastic and you're also exposed to them when you use things like your shampoo and conditioner bottles. Good on you for being healthy, but the issue is larger than preservatives.
@@trevorgalvez9127 Shit. Well there’s nothing we can do about micro plastics, so we’d mine as well work on what we can control.
@@trevorgalvez9127 i want to know more about what microplastics even do. Our bodies are designed to filter things out and I would der how much of a difference microplastocs even make if you are otherwise healthy and not overly inundated with toxins
incredibly well structured and easily accessible talk even for non native english speakers and viewers unfamiliar with the topic. A lot of incomplete information circling around on the internet and Dr. Swan sorts it out really well.
