A Poison Like No Other: How Microplastics Corrupted Our Planet and Our Bodies, by Matt Simon, is published by islandpress.org. I advise potential readers to tolerate or ignore that author's viewpoint on "global warming" if that is bothersome for them. Like many others here, I wear, eat, and sleep in certified organic cotton, hemp, and any other certifiable organically grown or raised fibers and foods, especially also certified by the Real Organic Project which I help support. My main raisers and growers are doubly certified. Life Without Plastic is a good resource which has been in business for many years. The main idea is to always think ahead as far as possible in time. For example, when you brush your teeth, consider what happens to all those microplastics released from your toothbrush filaments. Will those particles end up in you? Rinse them out, thoroughly, several times, from your mouth and throat to ensure minimal ingestion and absorption. I've yet to find or devise a non-plastic toothbrush which effectively cleans my teeth, but there is a non-plastic dental floss available made from silk. My favorite is unscented, waxed with carnauba wax, 100% compostable, from madebyradius.com. Please let us know of more such examples. Thanks for getting involved, sharing info, and putting your money where it counts for benefit of health.

Hey Doc, you inspired me and here's my reply:

I was encouraged to see that Trace Gallagher had a doctor on his show discussing this problem recently. The word is getting out.
