Iβm removing so much plastic, this will make me healthy sips coke from bottle
Wait, would this actually work?
Yea it really does. It's the only way we know to get rid of plastic in blood
Some recent study also found that mucilaginous fiber binds with PFAS the same way that it binds with cholesterol to keep the body from absorbing it. PFAS already in your system is believed to be reintroduced to your digestive system through bile excretion, some binds with the fiber and leaves your system, the rest is absorbed.
If you donβt eat a lot of food with mucilage, the main ingredient in Metamucil has mucilaginous fiber, as the name suggests.
The study author in the interview I read emphasized it wasnβt like βtake fiber for a few months and PFAS is all gone,β she and her husband just incorporated a mucilage supplement into their diets because of how prevalent it is in the environment.
Got link any chance? Would help me in telling my friends and loved ones to take poop pills with me because of the plastic in bodies (Iβll take my poop polls with or without a link just because I like the cut of your jib)
I donβt think this was the exact article I read, but hereβs another discussing the research: https://www.uml.edu/news/stories/2025/pfas-detox.aspx
Does this also mean woman after their period have less plastic?
Yes. Also during pregnancy. A lot of it is diverted to the fetus
how do i know how much plastic is in my blood?
Well supposedly there's enough in the tissue in your brain to make a credit card or a plastic disposable spoon depending on what article you read
If you want an actual answer, there is blood work you can have done to determine that. Veritasium did a video on it recently
Keeping in mind that you're getting rid of the plastic in your blood by getting rid of her blood
Only if your exposure in the future is less than in the past. Otherwise it will just go back up again. And considering plastic use is going up, you would have to use air filters and avoid micro plastics as much as possible.
.A friend used to donate blood when he had sex with a random girl, he said that if he contracted HIV, they would contact him.
That's pretty bad
Also wouldn't work.
Interesting that someone would downvote that.
And PFAS!
If human blood has plastics at a rate of ~ 1.6 Β΅g/mL and a typical volume of blood donated during a whole blood donation is approximately 470-500 mL you're looking at a reduction in plastics of a cool .0005 grams per donation. That's 1/40th of a grain of rice!
Don't think of it like that, think of it as 10% of your total blood plastic!
I wonder if doing plasma instead of whole blood is better or worse. Does microplastic stay behind or go back in?
Damn apparently giving plasma might be better according to this small study of aussie firefighters
Ooh maybe I should donate again. Get some extra cash, get rid of micro plastics. Win win win.
Thats why i donate 3 times a day
Too inefficient, I'm just going to pump it all out and start again with fresh blood.
The trick is to find a blood boy like Peter Thiel
Why would I want Peter Thiel as my blood boy?
why would you use absolute values for something measured in such small quantities? show us the percentage that comes out. or the fraction of the grain of rice associated with kidney / liver damage
So everybody wins?
Well, not the person in need that's getting transfusions of blood filled with microplastics.
I mean the person that is taking in the blood has already lost blood and the plastic within as a prerequisite. So, at the end, they should stay within the same amount of blood plastic as before.
Lucky bastard. I'm not only unable to donate, but I have to get blood derivatives injected. I'm Plastic Person, be sad for me.
