Microplastics, PFAS, and phthalates: health risks & minimizing exposure (AMA 67 sneak peek)

In this “Ask Me Anything” (AMA) episode, Peter tackles a topic that's been dominating headlines & sparking widespread concern: microplastics & plastic-associated chemicals, including BPA, PFAS, & phthalates. Peter explores the science behind these substances including how & why they've become so prevalent, the extent of our exposure, & the potential risks to our health. Most importantly, he provides a practical framework for understanding microplastics & plastic-associated chemicals & minimizing exposure while distinguishing genuine risks from exaggerated concerns.
