Speaker 1 (00:18):
I like that music. You could keep on playing for
me today except to minute twenty seven is Ricky's birthday.
Happy birthday, Ricky. Hope you have a wonderful day and today,
and good day to everybody. And I'm happy you tuned
in to let Grandpa speak. Every Saturday at nine am
(00:38):
in the morning. We talk about a lot of different things.
I'm Grandpa, I'm your host, and I'm the voice of
the fifty plus and all the rest of us. We
talk about a lot of different things, but most of
the things we talk about is what other people are
not bringing you. We bring you to good information that
people don't really talk about. We talk about hell and
(01:00):
all the things that have been discovered or in healthy
and how do you stay healthy and keep yourself healthy
as you grow older. Most people having this thing about
because they're getting old. They may think, well, I'm supposed
to be sick. No you're not. They got all kinds
of medicine and everything to keep you healthy and research
that they've done to also aid us and keep us
(01:23):
healthy and strong. And we talk about all the issues
for the people who are living longer and looking better.
People are living longer and they look good. You know,
I'm not yelling, I'm just the true. You can see
people nowadays in their seventies that really look good. Really
(01:43):
you cannot tell unless they told you how old they were.
They look good. So we've got a lot of good
things going on right now in life, and there's a
lot of some things that's good. Some things is not
so good. So we're going to concentrate on all the
good stuff because that's where it's moved fun at the
good subjects was good. So we're gonna we talk about
(02:06):
common sense. Now. Common sense is something that we used
to have a long time ago, when we only went
to the eighth grade. I know, my grandma, my uncles,
and my aunts they were they only had elementary education,
and so they do use what they call mother with
or common sense, and we need Some people say common
(02:30):
sense is not so common. Yes it is. Common sense
is everywhere as all around us. We're using it every day.
But we need to realize that we're using it and
we need to start being sensible and using it because
when we work out our problems, when we make certain solutions,
that's common sense. And some of the things are very simple,
something we shouldn't even have to even think about doing
(02:53):
we're doing. But we got problems all over our society
of people who will think and crazy or not thinking
sensible about things in life anymore. So we've got a
lot of confusion going on. We've got a lot of
division going on. So it's a good time now for
us to start thinking about common sense and make things
(03:16):
work better for us and better for everybody in the
world and all wherever we're going. I love everybody. I
say that every week because I do. I feel all day.
I even tell myself all day that I love everybody. Now,
I may not ever know everybody, or I don't even
really care about really knowing and everybody personally, because there's
(03:37):
a lot of people that I probably love with that
I say I love that I wouldn't necessarily be associated
with in a lot of ways. But we have to
love everybody anyway. It's not that sometime we get confused
about what love is. And so when I say I
love everybody else, I take away any negativism, any confusion,
(03:58):
or any resistance among me and everybody else. And I
also feel make myself feel real good to know that
I can love everybody else. It's good. You could hate
everybody you want to, but you're gonna feel bad about
it and you're not gonna be happy with that. So
try loving, say I love everybody. You know, love is
what conference hate, So just say that, you know. Any way,
(04:23):
life is moving on. We at winter, did you notice
that they had fall? Was I think last this early
in the week, Tuesday or Wednesday the fall was starting.
And so now we have we're gonna tablet. The weather's changed,
and it's cool. I like, I like all the different weathers,
but we don't really get them like people back east
(04:44):
get them. We just get them a sort of small
like sort of part of the way. You know, it's
possible that the weather wherever you're living now or here
and everywhere else will change. And now I know there's
some place where it's stays the same almost all year round,
like like in the in the city of la it
says pretty much seven and eighty seven and eighty winter
(05:06):
or summer. That's where I was living most of my life.
Now I live in Banning, which is about eighty miles
away from la which I can go there in about
in an hour's drive. I'm there freeway work and all that.
So but we changed we got to change from the
air conditioning to heat, and it just so happened. My
(05:31):
air condition went out maybe a week or two ago,
and the weather has been getting cooler and cooler, so
it's working out for me whether or not. So I
haven't had my air conditioning. I think it's gonna be
input in the maybe days or the ninth of October,
which is we're not into yet. But anyway, we spend
(05:52):
all summer trying to make the weather cool down, and
now we're gonna heat. You're gonna spend all winter trying
to try to make the heat warm up because we're
gonna need it. So we're gonna get cold. Now. Some
places really get cold and they really need heat, and
they really need to address winter in a different way
(06:13):
than we do here. But you know, that's what's happening
over here. We got the palm trees blowing in the back.
It's not gonna get too cold. It's not gonna get
too hot. I guess sixty is about as cold as
we ever get around most of fifty. Sometimes I think
sometimes it's gotten down to forty unusual, very unusual. But
(06:35):
most of the time, whether it's kind of warm here
and I love living here. I've been in La Most
quite a baif of time, and we complain about the
heat in the summer and love the heat in the winter.
That's what we do, so we're happy to live it.
Like I said, I live in California and I love
it here. I really do. It's the place it fits
(06:59):
me because I don't really care to go to all
the different weathers and things. I've lived in Ohio till
I was about fifteen or sixteen or seventeen, I think
I was, and they and it get cold back there.
In those days, it would be very, very cold. I
remember going to school it would be freezing that ten
below zero. We would still walk to school and go
(07:22):
to all of that, so we went. So I got
kind of tired of that. I like this weather here.
I like mild weather. We don't really have a lot
of different things. The only thing we do have is fires,
but the fires are used in the mountains somewhere. Not
a lot of people live out there, but there's a
few people live out there and a few people live
close to it and then live. We have a lot
(07:43):
of pine trees and when these pine trees catch on
fireboardy oo, they go real fast. So that's some of
the issues that we have missed something. If I had
any any bad brothers about living here, that be the
only thing I think. But I'm not near the far.
We're not near the far, so we really don't have
(08:05):
to worry about if you're living out way out, you know,
out of the city, you might be living in a
fire zone. They got what they got flood zones and
they got fire zone. So we do it. I live
in California and I love it here. Again, where I live,
I can see the snow on the mountain. I can
(08:27):
see the mountains you have, the snow will be on
the mountain, and it's warm where I'm living. So you know,
that's the one thing wonderful thing I like about living here.
When I come out of my house, I can look
up on the mountains, I see the snow. But where
I'm down here, it's warm. I'm in a T shirt. Now.
(08:48):
Many people like living here in California. It's a nice
place where where they're where, you know, some people like
to live whereas winter. I had a brother he came here,
he was going and to live while he said, no,
I can't live here because I like the fourth seasons
and he wanted to go back to he lived in Washington,
d C. I think that's where he moved to, or Baltimore, Maryland,
(09:10):
somewhere like that, and anyway, not in Baltimore, Maryland, but
I don't know the place. It was in Maryland though,
but it was a nice, beautiful community and everything. But
they had snow, they had rain, they got flood, got
all that stuff we sell them. Get any rain. I
(09:30):
hope wish we had more rain here, but we don't,
and we seldom have any rain, which you know, don't
really bother me that much. I can get along with
it without without it. So we don't have But like today,
I wish it would rain. I wish it would rain
a little bit more. But other than that, I wather
it's just miles all the time. And I like that
(09:53):
because I don't have to go now I do. There's
a little bit. We have a lot of trees around
my house, and there are a lot of trash that
come from those trees because the wind blows here a lot.
We have a lot like windstorms, and they really they
really put a lot of trash in your yard. Leaves
and pine cones and pine needles and stuff like that.
(10:18):
So I usually have to go out a lot and
do that. And last time I went out, it was
warm and I dehydrated myself. So there's some things that
here yet I have to watch out for it. And
that's one. Make sure when you're out in the summer
here around here, make sure you got some water. Make
sure you keep a lot of water available, because you
(10:38):
need to do that, you know. But we need to
change our attitudes in our country, I think a lot
of ways. Even though we have a lot of different
things that's going on with us, we need to change
the attitudes and come closer together with each other and
more tolerant of each other, I think. And you get
like that when you get older, you start seeing these things.
(10:59):
As you know. I've gotten a love living in a
long time, and that's why I want to do this show.
I'll do this show because I just want to give back.
And also I wanted to help seniors because I noticed
that seniors were I worked as a as a manager
for Hood and Senior Housing, and I saw a lot
of different things about seniors and was singing and said, well,
(11:22):
they don't want to know this. They could be living
a lot better. But a lot of them have just
have just settled for thinking that they're out of society,
thinking that they're worth this and over there now having anything,
thinking that they're sick, thinking that they got all this.
And I wanted to help change that. I wanted to
let them know that they don't have to go through
any of that. I'm ninety five, so I do very well.
(11:46):
I think fear of my mind is right everything. So
I said they I'm no exception to anybody else, except
that I do more of the right thing and the
things that I seared them seniors that they have a
lot to be thankful and they got to realize it.
And I tell you most of the things that I
can on this show. So stay tuned if you're a senior,
(12:08):
and if you're not a senior, you're going to hear
a lot of good things. How to stay healthy, how
to eat right, how to exercise, and how to do
all the things you need to do to make your
life better. And that's what we're all about, you know,
trying to help each other to live. You know, it's
like living in a village. In the village, we help
each other, you know. In sometimes cities, sometimes we don't.
(12:29):
We have a bad attitude about different people, and we
don't like different people. That's why I say we need
to sop of little men, be a little bit more
retolerant to our neighbors and to our people, and make
your neighborhood feel good and you feel good walking in
into wherever you are in it. There are many programs
to support seniors. There's many programs that seniors can get
(12:50):
helpful almost anything that they need. Even some people say,
well I can't go to the dentists or I can't
do this. They have different programs, but you have to
call in and as the people do. They have a
program for people who don't have money enough to do this,
money enough to do that. And that's basically what I
keep people that try to keep people. I keep you informed,
(13:11):
and that's the main thing. I keep you informed of
the things that you need to know. And you need
to know everything that I say. You need to know
how to live healthy. We all need to learn how
to be healthy. We don't want to be sick. We
don't be living a life where we just got troubles.
All the dog on time is stressful and we don't
(13:32):
want to be under that stress because stress does thanks
to your body that it shouldn't do, especially in your
cardiovascular system. It can destroy it. And you don't want
your heart and all that. You don't want stress about it.
Stresses are like I don't know if you it's not
a disease, but it's it's an emotional issue. So we
(13:53):
need to work on it. We taught you how to
live longer, how to have more longevity. People want to
know that today A lot of people I want to
live this. I want to live that. Some people don't.
Some people. You know, I had a brother didn't want to.
He didn't want to live today. He got old, he
wanted to. He wanted to go out while he was
young and healthy, and which he did. So that's where
(14:14):
it goes. And another thing that we need to stay strong.
We need to stay strong because if you don't stay strong,
you're gonna lose your balance and probably fall. And when
you don't stay strong, you lose your independence because you
can't get up and do this, You can't get on
to do that. Got to have somebody to do this
to that. So we want to give you the issues
(14:38):
in the keys to overcome all that stuff and you
can do it and peace of mind. Peace of mind,
come back to that stress everybody everything is want peace
of mind, No more trauma in your life, in your
in this time of your life, it's the time of
the life when you do all the things that you
wanted to do. It's time of your life to have
fun and enjoy it. And that's what I want to
(14:59):
get across to you. All Right now, we're going to
do a second half of the show, and the second
half we're going to talk about plastics that we're breathing.
We are breathing small pieces of plastic. Believe it or not.
I couldn't believe that when I saw it. I said, what.
So I wanted to do this program to show you
because they have some solutions on you how you could
(15:20):
keep yourself healthy because these plastics may or may not
be as healthy as you were wanting to be. Okay,
So I'm going to talk about that and that will
help you live longer and help you live better by
knowing what the things that you have to face. So
say June, I'll be right back.

Check us out online at.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Dot com. All right, all right, there we go. We're
(19:32):
back here again to talk about plastics. This is something
I didn't even realize it that. I know. I've heard
a lot about plastics, that we need to not use bottles,
plastic anything or containers and all that in the house.
I think we did a show about that, but I
didn't know if it's even more worse than that. They're
now saying that we're breathing tiny plastic particles in our body,
(19:58):
and I know that's not a good thing. And so
we're going to talk about seven foods and beverages that
have the most microplastics in it, and nanoplastics and what
to eat and how instead of of eating all these
microplastic They don't know how much harm it is doing,
(20:19):
but they know that having microplastics are tiny little plastic particles,
and they're like even nano particles. They even have some nanocybon,
very small nano and five millimeter size things that they
have infiltrated our environment, including the food that we consume. Plastics.
(20:42):
In twenty five they did a study by Nature Medicine.
They found something wild going on on. Average human brain
contains about maybe forty eight hundred micrograms of plastic program
that's about the same amount of plastic you find in
a plastic spoon. That is a lot of plastics in
(21:04):
your sense. While research into the long term health effects
of microplastics, and they have a lot of that going
on right now, and they need you. There's no targets
for safe amounts that's in your body. We have to
be very careful, and they're trying to head off anything
that's gonna happen. By doing this research, they show the
(21:24):
presence of microplastics and an aerial plaque that all significantly
higher risk of cardiovascular events. These plastics will harm you,
and we're so I'm gonna tell you about what they are,
and then I'm gonna tell you the things that you
can do to kind of avoid them. How they might
they're connected to micro and ninoplastics, their exposure to inflammation.
(21:51):
They can get your human humans your immune system to
be deregulated, and they called metabolic disruptions in your whole body,
and a lot of time we may not know what
is doing it. But now they're saying it's possible to
these that's what microplastics are doing to us. Still we're
(22:11):
early and the understanding these exposures. They still could say
that too, but they're starting off early to try and
find out what it is and how it is. So
we're just gonna give you some advice on things how
to not necessarily, you know, find out later that you
were doing all the wrong things. And they should have
told us before. So we're gonna tell you early right
(22:33):
now an absence and the limits of what these microplastics
do and how they are in your system, and what
the solutions to them might be. To help us to
understand this, we got to go go through this. The
research is going. So they're in common foods, they're in
our beverages from the lowest to the highest the measure microplastics.
(22:57):
They're in everything with particles count. It's not the whole story,
but we're starting on the story so that you can
have someone researchers of measuring how much plastics in our food,
not yet how much harm it may cost. But first
(23:18):
of all, they just want to know how much is
in there. This concept is relevant when considering microplastic exposure,
particularly regarding your vascular information and the system of your
immune responses. All these things going in your finally suggests
that even low levels micropleassic has some effect upon us.
(23:44):
Polyethylene or polyvinyl chloride has a lot to do with
it and may increase your heart trouble or heart problems
that you may have if people won't why are getting
this a while getting that these are some of the
things that we need to head off so that you
don't get it. We're still learning what micro means, and
(24:06):
what microplastic means, and what the chronic exposure is. So
we need to understand that we're giving you a headstart.
You know, we always on this show, we always try
to bring you to things long before they happen. Like
we've brought a lot of different things to you so
that you'll know you already know this. When they come
out and say come out, read the sad story about
(24:29):
what happened, you'll be way ahead of it and you
will have a better idea. So when you sip, sprinkle,
or bite into broo. These are some of the most
steady resources of the microplastic you're going to get in
your food system today, along with with better for you
alternatives that can support your longevity and break and keep
(24:53):
your health while you're doing it. Okay, now we're going
to talk about the seven foods and beverages that have
high content microplastics in it. One of them is sea salt. Now,
I use sea salt. A lot of people use sea salt,
and I found that maytain a lot of microplastics because
the ocean is contaminated with plastics all over, and that's
(25:17):
why you got to be careful with that salt. So
I'm going to give you a solution of a salt
that you can use. But studies have the European people
have already found out and they're doing the study in
Europe as well as America. They've found out that the
these levels are very high particles and they're traditional harvests salt.
It's better to do the reg excuse me, it's better
(25:39):
to do the regular salt than it is to do
sea salt. And the most common type of plastics are
found in polyarthyline and they make up like the plastic bottles.
That's where they come from. Well, the ocean is full
of those plastic bottles. So now it's it's I guess
it's leaked into the water and so and then it
(26:01):
leaps into the salt, and so the sea salt may
have some issue with that. But I'm going to give
you another salt a little later on as a solution
which you can use instead of regular sea saw. And
I use this salt either. I didn't know I was
using the salt for any special reason, but I was
using it because you know, I don't know, I just
(26:24):
found it to be using it. So sea salt will
contributed meaningly to the overall exposure. Because what you need
to do is consider mine rock salt or human lady
in pink salt. I use a lot of pink salt.
I don't know why I've used. I just it's just
come in the cannon.
Speaker 7 (26:41):
Now.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
I just use that. And I bought it a long
time ago, so now I mainly use it. I didn't
it wasn't using it for any special purpose. But I'm glad.
But anyway you can get uh, you could choose brands
of traditional harvesting methods and third party purity testing for
added trans urgency. Sometimes I do this thing, and I think,
(27:05):
you know what, it's almost like an AD something, you know,
like you haven't you're not using this regular salt, it
maybe go down. It's almost like an AD. I don't
hope that's not what what I'm reading here about. Anyway.
That's the number one is sea salt. So you have
to avoid sea salt, get the regular salt, getting mine salt,
(27:28):
or you know, or either like I said, you can
get himaland pink salt, which is what I use. Okay,
I'm not a great salt eater anyway, I don't really
care for salt anyway. Beer, did you know U's in beer?
Plastics is in beer? Microplastics have been detected in various
(27:50):
beer samples, like introduced through contaminated water resources, and during
the brewing process they found that that it has a
lot of it in it. German Bearer brands from microplastic fibers,
fragments and granular material in all samples of the beer,
(28:12):
which counts for about two to seventy fibers per per
about two to seventy nine fibers per leader a study
and plus one they found that the plastic particles are
in all Bearer brands tested across the US and Canada.
So if you're drinking beer, maybe you need to think
(28:36):
about that. Maybe not. We'll see what it is and
see what it harms you. But here's what you can
choose and say it. Support your local breweries. You know
they are cleaner, a little bit cleaner than the overall
large they're prioritizing sustainable practices, and they use filter the
(28:58):
water and the local bewers. So you might start saying, well,
maybe we drink a local beer, the regular modern beer.
Now moderating beer in consumption, you have to not drinking
a whole six pack anymore like you used to. Maybe
just drink maybe three or four beers and you should
(29:19):
have enough stand hydrated. It's very important. What water can
also help reduce overall microplastic intakes. So if you're drinking
good water, good filter the water. Make sure you have
a filter system on you think if you don't have one,
get one, because they're already telling you that they have
the p F s A, which are or what they
(29:42):
call them, standard chemicals and and almost in everything. But
now there's a p p p F A PF A
s is. A PFA is is a chemical that's in
your water. So you should make sure if you don't
have a filter on your water or your water s
put one on there. Go get one. You can get
one for ten or twenty dollars if you can't afford
(30:04):
the regular purification in your in your house. If you
can't afford that, then you can do that. But that's
one way to help too, by drinking good clear water.
So you but make sure it's filtered the water because
that help takes out a lot of the microplastic. Okay,
(30:24):
Number three is bottled water. Now we already know that
we've been told a lot of the number of times
about drinking water from plastic containers and then from plastic there.
But studies have shown that bottle of water can contain
a significant number of microplastic. They got a lot of
particles of it, like originating from the packaging and the
(30:46):
bottling process or the whole thing is there causing that.
For instance, research indicates that bottle samples contain an average
of three hundred and twenty five microplastic particles per eater,
So that's quite a bit I would assume. I'm not.
I don't know what what a micro classic would be.
(31:09):
I guess it must be a really small little thing
which you can hardly see. But it's in there in
the water anyway. So you've got to be very careful
with what's happening water. Don't go around and fool them
around dealing with the water. If you're gonna drink the water,
like I said, make sure you put get yourself some
(31:29):
a filter you can get. You can get the kind
you can attached to your faucet, I'll tell you one
more time. And you can also get the kind that
you put in your refrigerator like a breeder, and you
put it in there and you drink your water from there.
You can do that. No, now what what what to choose?
(31:50):
You should choose like I say, tap filter, tap water.
That's what they're saying here, so our I'll already told
you the story. Does and stainless steel or glass containers
when you do it. Do not drink from plastic bottles,
especially if they've been left in the sun any time.
Get away from that. We know that because we've talked
(32:11):
about it before. How not only are you getting microplastic
but you're getting other things that are harm for you
to you when you drink from plastic plan but almost
all the water we get when you go to stores
all in the little plastic things. We don't know if
the cheap plastic bottle or well plastic bottle or whatever. Well,
we might need to start thinking about the water that
(32:35):
we drink. You might have to carry our water with us.
There the way it looks okay, now here's what you
choose is said diversity. Diversify your protein sources by incorporating
plant based proteins. Oh wait a minute, I'm way ahead
of myself. I want to talk about shellfish. Shellfish also
have a lot of plastic. Now, I love shrimp. I
(32:58):
just bought some. I like muscles, so I don't buy those,
but I do buy the shrimp clowns and auses. I
don't buy all of them. They are filter They are
filter feeders, making them susceptible to accumulating microplastics from their environment.
(33:19):
And the reach has shown that these organisms are canning
and ingest microplastics, which are then passed on to consumers.
You get it. So I like shrimps. I have a
lot of strimp in my freezer. Now that I just
cook every once in a while, it's easier for me
to cook too. So I'm gonna have to be careful
(33:41):
with that from now on, and you should too. What
you choose instead, diversify your protein sauces by incorporating plant
based UH proteins, use plant based plant based poultry UH.
And there's certain sauce certain sources of fish known for
(34:02):
lower plastic and contamination. The study found that fish from
Australia had lower microplastics, and I think also fish that
come from places like Alaska, it probably don't have as
much because it's up higher and the water seemed to
run down south. I guess it goes back up sooner
or later. But you might try that too. So I'm
(34:25):
gonna have to try that and not eat so many
shellfish as much as I did before. So that's for me. Now.
They got another one here, and it's it's like rice rice.
I eat a lot of rice. I like rice. I
don't want to give up rice. Rice seems it seemed
(34:48):
like a clean staple. It does, you know, it can
carry the firing levels of plastic though I don't understand
how it should get into rice. I don't know what
they were process for a whole bit, but it's supposed
In the Journal of Hazardous Materials they found that polyethylene
polypropylene pet in ninety five percent of the sore bought
(35:14):
rice samples. So all it's had a lot of different
stuff in it. I guess all of our food has
something in it that's not right. It's hard to get
away from and it's hard to find healthy food anymore.
That's why they come up with organic and all this
other kinds. Contamination didn't differ much between paper and plastic
(35:35):
packaging the dead they're in both of those and simply
shaking the bag had no effect. However, washing rice reduced
plastic by up to forty percent. So I always wash
my rice when I'm cooking the dry rice, I wash
it one that I washed it twice, and when I remember,
(35:56):
we always washed it more than that. But we were
washing it to get the stars out of it, so
were was too much starts in it, so we might
wash it four or five times, have a strain to
wash it, run through the strainer, put another wash it.
So I guess what we were doing the right thing
when we were doing that. But you gotta do that.
So get you a strainer, whatever it is, wash your
(36:18):
rice if you're gonna cook it, and make sure you
do the right thing. The study to reveal that instant
pre cook rice contains full time more plastic. And I
got some pre cooked ress in you know, every once
in a while I'll put that in refrigerator because they
don't take a minute to cook. And it's real and
it's not that bad. You know, it tastes okay, but
in comparison, standard rice averages around three to four milligrams
(36:41):
per serverce depending on whether it's rent or not. You
gotta rent it, and so you're don't. Over time, this
could lead to nearly one gram of plastic annually the
rice consumption alone. So from what I see and from
what I'm hearing here, it sound to me like microplastics
(37:02):
and almost everything that we eat or even our water,
even our air. It's it's just that bad. So they
said for for brice, they say, choose boat or minimally
processed rice, rice thoroughly and worship before thoroughly before you're
cooking it. Skipping instant varieties and choosing organic are low
(37:27):
intervention rice further can reduce exposure and sport a better
other body health. So that's what you can do. Excuse me.
And they may have a drinking my cocoa. I'm drinking cocoa. Mmm.
I don't drink coffee. I don't drink coffee because it
(37:49):
cost me to have constantncy and I don't want that.
A lot of people drink that stuff. I like coffee,
it's great, but the problems are not worth it. Siming. Okay,
they got another another item in food this subject. And
sure anyway, apples and carrots. Apples and carrots are another
(38:10):
sudden now that hits me hard because I eat an
apple every day every morning. Usually I'll eat fuji apple,
but they kind of sweet. Sometimes they're too sweet, so
I get changed. This weekend, I'm eating gala. I get
up in the morning, I eat gala, apples, grapes and
(38:31):
a small piece of banana. That's usually my early meal
what I eat. Now, A lot of people don't eat that.
Sometimes I'll fry eggs and I'll eat turkey, bacon or
something like that and bread. I try to stay from
some of that all the time. But I eat my
apple every morning, my apples, So I don't know. Back
(38:52):
in the day. You know, people say apple a day,
keep the doctor away, and so maybe that's on my mind.
I'm not sure, but that's what I do. He said.
Apples are the number one that's contaminated and carrits. Apple
(39:13):
and carriss are the number one food. Number would have
to be something that I really like and really careful about. Anyway,
choose this instead. So it's telling me not to choose
choose unpackaged produce when possible. I always don't like my produce.
All my vegetables in packages. I look for the ones
(39:36):
that's open, you know. Now. I don't know if that
really bothered me, but I always felt when I go in,
I'm looking for greens or some kind of vegetable and
it's in and it's in a container or plastic thing.
I don't know how long it's been there. I don't
know when they did it. I know they got sometimes
they'll have uh dates on when they use or the
(39:58):
freeze or something like that, but I don't know any
of that. So I kind of back away from that.
And I don't like my vegetables. I like my vessels
out to be breathing and in the air, and so
I would buy that kind of a vegetables. Plus I
have a few friends that have a garden, and you
have somebody who have a garden and you can get
your fresh vegetables and tomatoes and things like. Oh man,
(40:22):
my friend has has a had he growing tomatoes. I
had stopped eating tomatoes for a long time. I didn't
eat tomatoes because the tomatoes didn't taste right. It just
tastes funny and everything. These tomatoes taste just like old tomatoes.
You know when you were a kid and you walk
around with a piece of salt and a piece of paper,
(40:45):
or sometimes you even had the whole salt stickeen and
a little beaty saut sickered. You have them in your pocket.
You see a see a garden or somewhere where somebody
have grown tomatoes, you get it and put that salt
in that. Man, it was really good. We sued to
eat eat a lot of tomatoes back in those days.
I get in my grandmother's guard and I find see
(41:06):
a red one. I mean, I put it and put
that salt on it, and eating is really good. But
that was it was. I was the tomatoes. But choose
unpackaged products, you know, products out so I'm used to
products being fresh. I don't want them wrapped up in
no in the thing. And shop for locals and resources
(41:27):
like transparent farming practices you can find somewhere, or they
have like these farm farmers market. Find one of those
and you get the food and then you know the
regular store. Shoot also they have open vegetables and open
fruits and things like that too. But wash your plastics
(41:47):
thoroughly and consider peeling when appropriate. Like my apples, I
don't eat the skin out pulled up all right, I
take the skin off of them, all of them. Rotated
for organic or seasonal produce can also help reduce long
term exposure for any one source. Now we know the
microplastics are there, well, well, someone say, well, I don't care.
(42:10):
You might need to care because if it's gonna cause
you have a problem with your heart, with your immune system, hey,
it's not worth it. It's passing it up. So do
the right thing and keep yourself healthy. I got a
caller calling you on the air.
Speaker 7 (42:25):
Hey, Grandpa, ho are you doing.
Speaker 1 (42:27):
I'm doing real fine. How are you today? We're talking
about something unusual, something that we don't normally talk about,
microplastics in the air in your food and in the water.
Speaker 8 (42:39):
Well, it's interesting that you're talking about that, and I
think it's a real good subject because I remember when
we used to have Coca cola in a twelve ounce bottle,
and then they gave us sixteen ounce bottles and they
will be and they were glass. Everything was glad, and
(43:00):
then if you want to get a quarter soda pop,
it was put in a glass bottom. If you got milk,
it was in a glass bottom. And now they're talking about.
Speaker 7 (43:14):
Saved the wells and saved the fish and saved.
Speaker 8 (43:17):
The ocean because the ocean has got all the plastic
that we're dumping into it from the use of the
plastics that we're using for containers, right, so you can
see and it's a known fact that if you use
your microwave that you taking the microwave and heating up
(43:40):
the food and it's done doing nothing but metastasizing the
plastic over into the food that you're about to eat,
right Mr. So So it's a it's it's a very
good subject to talk about because, like you said, say
(44:00):
somebody's got a tablespoon or plastic get in their head already,
that's not a good idea.
Speaker 6 (44:07):
MM.
Speaker 1 (44:07):
Hmm.
Speaker 7 (44:09):
Yeah. I mean if you if you had some glass.
Speaker 8 (44:12):
In your head, you wouldn't be problem not.
Speaker 1 (44:16):
Well, you're right on what the suthern you are saying.
You're saying all the right things. We need to be
careful about certain foods now because it causes us too
many problems. I think.
Speaker 7 (44:29):
Well, even ice cream.
Speaker 8 (44:32):
Used to be put in paper products, and now they've
got ice cream and plastic jug tugs.
Speaker 1 (44:38):
Yeah, yeah, or paper even the paper you can get
nano plastics from.
Speaker 8 (44:45):
Right, right, so you you can you can have every
plastic plastic for as much as it is not good
for the overall uh geological fingerprint of the of the
(45:07):
of the world is being used those humans perilously.
Speaker 1 (45:13):
Yeah. Hey, yeah, I appreciate your calling because, uh, we
need to really consider this for our health.
Speaker 7 (45:24):
Yeah, I mean, especially when you're getting older, because they
think about all these people.
Speaker 8 (45:28):
Now who've got no property, no property.
Speaker 7 (45:32):
I think that's what it is.
Speaker 8 (45:33):
They keep saying they got circulation problems and people claiming
they got more diabetes than they used to have. And
it may have something to do with all this plastic
is being produced and put into our food supply.
Speaker 1 (45:49):
Right, you're right about that. All right, I thank you
for calling. Okay, the caller was right. He was saying
a lot of good things. It's something we you know
what some people say, Well, I ain't worrying about now,
I'm worrying about you know, you need to worry about
things right now and really and start doing the right
(46:10):
thing now. The seventh the lesson the last one they gave,
and that was tea. Now, I don't drink a lot
of tea, but some people do drink a lot of
tea sometimes if I'm going out, if I'm out dinner,
I don't drink a lot of the other drinks. I
might drink wine, or I'll drink of tea and I've
(46:31):
had the tea. You know, certain plastic tea bags, the
tea bags carries a lot of microplastics. When you're seeving
it in that hot water, it's releasing millions of plastoplastic
from the bag, the bag that they put in. Non
plastic particles are in the beverages that we drink, and
(46:53):
if they have if it's a plastic container, you know
you're getting microplastic. When you see this set. I found
that they're seeping in the single plastic in a tea bag.
When you're brewing the temperatures releasing a lot of different
microplastics into your drink or your tea. So what you're
supposed to use instead use leaf tea, use the dry tea.
(47:17):
Don't get the ones in the tea bag because that
tea bag is loaded with microplastic. You don't want to
do that with used sainly steel and glass infusures when
you do that. But here's one thing that said I
thought was funny. They said, make a plastic free tea infuser. Well,
(47:39):
that looks like to me that's been feeding the purpose.
But I I would say, sick with the steel. I
have one mining steel and it works. You know, it's
really like a little stiffy. You put your put those uh,
your your your your your tea in that and there's
not in loose tea. You put it in there and
you cook your tea from that way, not necessarily from
(47:59):
the bag. Don't use those bags. Select the brands that
are biodegradable. If you're going to use anything else a
plastic tea bag, make sure you do that. Okay, Now
that's the show for the day, and it's just something
a reminder that makes you be aware. A lot of
times when I do this show, later on, I hear
about something that's worked that you don't want to deal with.
(48:22):
The bottom line, reducing your exposure from microplastic involved making
some mindful choice. You just have to make a few
choices about the food and the beverages that you consume.
And as you're getting older, you need to know that
by selecting alternatives you have lower your contamination and supporting
sustainable plastics. So we have to do all this stuff
(48:43):
now because our food is really is not really what
it's supposed to be for us to be eating. So
we have to be very careful that all time to
make sure we're eating the right thing. Okay, there's a
grand farmer here every week with something good to tell you.
Number One showing the internet. Make sure you tune in,
tell all your friends to tune in too, and then
then we're gonna have fun. So a lots of time
(49:05):
we have fun. We do different things. Okay, so I'll
see you next week. Make sure you tune in.
I like that music. You could keep on playing for
me today except to minute twenty seven is Ricky's birthday.
Happy birthday, Ricky. Hope you have a wonderful day and today,
and good day to everybody. And I'm happy you tuned
in to let Grandpa speak. Every Saturday at nine am
(00:38):
in the morning. We talk about a lot of different things.
I'm Grandpa, I'm your host, and I'm the voice of
the fifty plus and all the rest of us. We
talk about a lot of different things, but most of
the things we talk about is what other people are
not bringing you. We bring you to good information that
people don't really talk about. We talk about hell and
(01:00):
all the things that have been discovered or in healthy
and how do you stay healthy and keep yourself healthy
as you grow older. Most people having this thing about
because they're getting old. They may think, well, I'm supposed
to be sick. No you're not. They got all kinds
of medicine and everything to keep you healthy and research
that they've done to also aid us and keep us
(01:23):
healthy and strong. And we talk about all the issues
for the people who are living longer and looking better.
People are living longer and they look good. You know,
I'm not yelling, I'm just the true. You can see
people nowadays in their seventies that really look good. Really
(01:43):
you cannot tell unless they told you how old they were.
They look good. So we've got a lot of good
things going on right now in life, and there's a
lot of some things that's good. Some things is not
so good. So we're going to concentrate on all the
good stuff because that's where it's moved fun at the
good subjects was good. So we're gonna we talk about
(02:06):
common sense. Now. Common sense is something that we used
to have a long time ago, when we only went
to the eighth grade. I know, my grandma, my uncles,
and my aunts they were they only had elementary education,
and so they do use what they call mother with
or common sense, and we need Some people say common
(02:30):
sense is not so common. Yes it is. Common sense
is everywhere as all around us. We're using it every day.
But we need to realize that we're using it and
we need to start being sensible and using it because
when we work out our problems, when we make certain solutions,
that's common sense. And some of the things are very simple,
something we shouldn't even have to even think about doing
(02:53):
we're doing. But we got problems all over our society
of people who will think and crazy or not thinking
sensible about things in life anymore. So we've got a
lot of confusion going on. We've got a lot of
division going on. So it's a good time now for
us to start thinking about common sense and make things
(03:16):
work better for us and better for everybody in the
world and all wherever we're going. I love everybody. I
say that every week because I do. I feel all day.
I even tell myself all day that I love everybody. Now,
I may not ever know everybody, or I don't even
really care about really knowing and everybody personally, because there's
(03:37):
a lot of people that I probably love with that
I say I love that I wouldn't necessarily be associated
with in a lot of ways. But we have to
love everybody anyway. It's not that sometime we get confused
about what love is. And so when I say I
love everybody else, I take away any negativism, any confusion,
(03:58):
or any resistance among me and everybody else. And I
also feel make myself feel real good to know that
I can love everybody else. It's good. You could hate
everybody you want to, but you're gonna feel bad about
it and you're not gonna be happy with that. So
try loving, say I love everybody. You know, love is
what conference hate, So just say that, you know. Any way,
(04:23):
life is moving on. We at winter, did you notice
that they had fall? Was I think last this early
in the week, Tuesday or Wednesday the fall was starting.
And so now we have we're gonna tablet. The weather's changed,
and it's cool. I like, I like all the different weathers,
but we don't really get them like people back east
(04:44):
get them. We just get them a sort of small
like sort of part of the way. You know, it's
possible that the weather wherever you're living now or here
and everywhere else will change. And now I know there's
some place where it's stays the same almost all year round,
like like in the in the city of la it
says pretty much seven and eighty seven and eighty winter
(05:06):
or summer. That's where I was living most of my life.
Now I live in Banning, which is about eighty miles
away from la which I can go there in about
in an hour's drive. I'm there freeway work and all that.
So but we changed we got to change from the
air conditioning to heat, and it just so happened. My
(05:31):
air condition went out maybe a week or two ago,
and the weather has been getting cooler and cooler, so
it's working out for me whether or not. So I
haven't had my air conditioning. I think it's gonna be
input in the maybe days or the ninth of October,
which is we're not into yet. But anyway, we spend
(05:52):
all summer trying to make the weather cool down, and
now we're gonna heat. You're gonna spend all winter trying
to try to make the heat warm up because we're
gonna need it. So we're gonna get cold. Now. Some
places really get cold and they really need heat, and
they really need to address winter in a different way
(06:13):
than we do here. But you know, that's what's happening
over here. We got the palm trees blowing in the back.
It's not gonna get too cold. It's not gonna get
too hot. I guess sixty is about as cold as
we ever get around most of fifty. Sometimes I think
sometimes it's gotten down to forty unusual, very unusual. But
(06:35):
most of the time, whether it's kind of warm here
and I love living here. I've been in La Most
quite a baif of time, and we complain about the
heat in the summer and love the heat in the winter.
That's what we do, so we're happy to live it.
Like I said, I live in California and I love
it here. I really do. It's the place it fits
(06:59):
me because I don't really care to go to all
the different weathers and things. I've lived in Ohio till
I was about fifteen or sixteen or seventeen, I think
I was, and they and it get cold back there.
In those days, it would be very, very cold. I
remember going to school it would be freezing that ten
below zero. We would still walk to school and go
(07:22):
to all of that, so we went. So I got
kind of tired of that. I like this weather here.
I like mild weather. We don't really have a lot
of different things. The only thing we do have is fires,
but the fires are used in the mountains somewhere. Not
a lot of people live out there, but there's a
few people live out there and a few people live
close to it and then live. We have a lot
(07:43):
of pine trees and when these pine trees catch on
fireboardy oo, they go real fast. So that's some of
the issues that we have missed something. If I had
any any bad brothers about living here, that be the
only thing I think. But I'm not near the far.
We're not near the far, so we really don't have
(08:05):
to worry about if you're living out way out, you know,
out of the city, you might be living in a
fire zone. They got what they got flood zones and
they got fire zone. So we do it. I live
in California and I love it here. Again, where I live,
I can see the snow on the mountain. I can
(08:27):
see the mountains you have, the snow will be on
the mountain, and it's warm where I'm living. So you know,
that's the one thing wonderful thing I like about living here.
When I come out of my house, I can look
up on the mountains, I see the snow. But where
I'm down here, it's warm. I'm in a T shirt. Now.
(08:48):
Many people like living here in California. It's a nice
place where where they're where, you know, some people like
to live whereas winter. I had a brother he came here,
he was going and to live while he said, no,
I can't live here because I like the fourth seasons
and he wanted to go back to he lived in Washington,
d C. I think that's where he moved to, or Baltimore, Maryland,
(09:10):
somewhere like that, and anyway, not in Baltimore, Maryland, but
I don't know the place. It was in Maryland though,
but it was a nice, beautiful community and everything. But
they had snow, they had rain, they got flood, got
all that stuff we sell them. Get any rain. I
(09:30):
hope wish we had more rain here, but we don't,
and we seldom have any rain, which you know, don't
really bother me that much. I can get along with
it without without it. So we don't have But like today,
I wish it would rain. I wish it would rain
a little bit more. But other than that, I wather
it's just miles all the time. And I like that
(09:53):
because I don't have to go now I do. There's
a little bit. We have a lot of trees around
my house, and there are a lot of trash that
come from those trees because the wind blows here a lot.
We have a lot like windstorms, and they really they
really put a lot of trash in your yard. Leaves
and pine cones and pine needles and stuff like that.
(10:18):
So I usually have to go out a lot and
do that. And last time I went out, it was
warm and I dehydrated myself. So there's some things that
here yet I have to watch out for it. And
that's one. Make sure when you're out in the summer
here around here, make sure you got some water. Make
sure you keep a lot of water available, because you
(10:38):
need to do that, you know. But we need to
change our attitudes in our country, I think a lot
of ways. Even though we have a lot of different
things that's going on with us, we need to change
the attitudes and come closer together with each other and
more tolerant of each other, I think. And you get
like that when you get older, you start seeing these things.
(10:59):
As you know. I've gotten a love living in a
long time, and that's why I want to do this show.
I'll do this show because I just want to give back.
And also I wanted to help seniors because I noticed
that seniors were I worked as a as a manager
for Hood and Senior Housing, and I saw a lot
of different things about seniors and was singing and said, well,
(11:22):
they don't want to know this. They could be living
a lot better. But a lot of them have just
have just settled for thinking that they're out of society,
thinking that they're worth this and over there now having anything,
thinking that they're sick, thinking that they got all this.
And I wanted to help change that. I wanted to
let them know that they don't have to go through
any of that. I'm ninety five, so I do very well.
(11:46):
I think fear of my mind is right everything. So
I said they I'm no exception to anybody else, except
that I do more of the right thing and the
things that I seared them seniors that they have a
lot to be thankful and they got to realize it.
And I tell you most of the things that I
can on this show. So stay tuned if you're a senior,
(12:08):
and if you're not a senior, you're going to hear
a lot of good things. How to stay healthy, how
to eat right, how to exercise, and how to do
all the things you need to do to make your
life better. And that's what we're all about, you know,
trying to help each other to live. You know, it's
like living in a village. In the village, we help
each other, you know. In sometimes cities, sometimes we don't.
(12:29):
We have a bad attitude about different people, and we
don't like different people. That's why I say we need
to sop of little men, be a little bit more
retolerant to our neighbors and to our people, and make
your neighborhood feel good and you feel good walking in
into wherever you are in it. There are many programs
to support seniors. There's many programs that seniors can get
(12:50):
helpful almost anything that they need. Even some people say,
well I can't go to the dentists or I can't
do this. They have different programs, but you have to
call in and as the people do. They have a
program for people who don't have money enough to do this,
money enough to do that. And that's basically what I
keep people that try to keep people. I keep you informed,
(13:11):
and that's the main thing. I keep you informed of
the things that you need to know. And you need
to know everything that I say. You need to know
how to live healthy. We all need to learn how
to be healthy. We don't want to be sick. We
don't be living a life where we just got troubles.
All the dog on time is stressful and we don't
(13:32):
want to be under that stress because stress does thanks
to your body that it shouldn't do, especially in your
cardiovascular system. It can destroy it. And you don't want
your heart and all that. You don't want stress about it.
Stresses are like I don't know if you it's not
a disease, but it's it's an emotional issue. So we
(13:53):
need to work on it. We taught you how to
live longer, how to have more longevity. People want to
know that today A lot of people I want to
live this. I want to live that. Some people don't.
Some people. You know, I had a brother didn't want to.
He didn't want to live today. He got old, he
wanted to. He wanted to go out while he was
young and healthy, and which he did. So that's where
(14:14):
it goes. And another thing that we need to stay strong.
We need to stay strong because if you don't stay strong,
you're gonna lose your balance and probably fall. And when
you don't stay strong, you lose your independence because you
can't get up and do this, You can't get on
to do that. Got to have somebody to do this
to that. So we want to give you the issues
(14:38):
in the keys to overcome all that stuff and you
can do it and peace of mind. Peace of mind,
come back to that stress everybody everything is want peace
of mind, No more trauma in your life, in your
in this time of your life, it's the time of
the life when you do all the things that you
wanted to do. It's time of your life to have
fun and enjoy it. And that's what I want to
(14:59):
get across to you. All Right now, we're going to
do a second half of the show, and the second
half we're going to talk about plastics that we're breathing.
We are breathing small pieces of plastic. Believe it or not.
I couldn't believe that when I saw it. I said, what.
So I wanted to do this program to show you
because they have some solutions on you how you could
(15:20):
keep yourself healthy because these plastics may or may not
be as healthy as you were wanting to be. Okay,
So I'm going to talk about that and that will
help you live longer and help you live better by
knowing what the things that you have to face. So
say June, I'll be right back.

Speaker 4 (19:00):
Check us out online at.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Dot com. All right, all right, there we go. We're
(19:32):
back here again to talk about plastics. This is something
I didn't even realize it that. I know. I've heard
a lot about plastics, that we need to not use bottles,
plastic anything or containers and all that in the house.
I think we did a show about that, but I
didn't know if it's even more worse than that. They're
now saying that we're breathing tiny plastic particles in our body,
(19:58):
and I know that's not a good thing. And so
we're going to talk about seven foods and beverages that
have the most microplastics in it, and nanoplastics and what
to eat and how instead of of eating all these
microplastic They don't know how much harm it is doing,
(20:19):
but they know that having microplastics are tiny little plastic particles,
and they're like even nano particles. They even have some nanocybon,
very small nano and five millimeter size things that they
have infiltrated our environment, including the food that we consume. Plastics.
(20:42):
In twenty five they did a study by Nature Medicine.
They found something wild going on on. Average human brain
contains about maybe forty eight hundred micrograms of plastic program
that's about the same amount of plastic you find in
a plastic spoon. That is a lot of plastics in
(21:04):
your sense. While research into the long term health effects
of microplastics, and they have a lot of that going
on right now, and they need you. There's no targets
for safe amounts that's in your body. We have to
be very careful, and they're trying to head off anything
that's gonna happen. By doing this research, they show the
(21:24):
presence of microplastics and an aerial plaque that all significantly
higher risk of cardiovascular events. These plastics will harm you,
and we're so I'm gonna tell you about what they are,
and then I'm gonna tell you the things that you
can do to kind of avoid them. How they might
they're connected to micro and ninoplastics, their exposure to inflammation.
(21:51):
They can get your human humans your immune system to
be deregulated, and they called metabolic disruptions in your whole body,
and a lot of time we may not know what
is doing it. But now they're saying it's possible to
these that's what microplastics are doing to us. Still we're
(22:11):
early and the understanding these exposures. They still could say
that too, but they're starting off early to try and
find out what it is and how it is. So
we're just gonna give you some advice on things how
to not necessarily, you know, find out later that you
were doing all the wrong things. And they should have
told us before. So we're gonna tell you early right
(22:33):
now an absence and the limits of what these microplastics
do and how they are in your system, and what
the solutions to them might be. To help us to
understand this, we got to go go through this. The
research is going. So they're in common foods, they're in
our beverages from the lowest to the highest the measure microplastics.
(22:57):
They're in everything with particles count. It's not the whole story,
but we're starting on the story so that you can
have someone researchers of measuring how much plastics in our food,
not yet how much harm it may cost. But first
(23:18):
of all, they just want to know how much is
in there. This concept is relevant when considering microplastic exposure,
particularly regarding your vascular information and the system of your
immune responses. All these things going in your finally suggests
that even low levels micropleassic has some effect upon us.
(23:44):
Polyethylene or polyvinyl chloride has a lot to do with
it and may increase your heart trouble or heart problems
that you may have if people won't why are getting
this a while getting that these are some of the
things that we need to head off so that you
don't get it. We're still learning what micro means, and
(24:06):
what microplastic means, and what the chronic exposure is. So
we need to understand that we're giving you a headstart.
You know, we always on this show, we always try
to bring you to things long before they happen. Like
we've brought a lot of different things to you so
that you'll know you already know this. When they come
out and say come out, read the sad story about
(24:29):
what happened, you'll be way ahead of it and you
will have a better idea. So when you sip, sprinkle,
or bite into broo. These are some of the most
steady resources of the microplastic you're going to get in
your food system today, along with with better for you
alternatives that can support your longevity and break and keep
(24:53):
your health while you're doing it. Okay, now we're going
to talk about the seven foods and beverages that have
high content microplastics in it. One of them is sea salt. Now,
I use sea salt. A lot of people use sea salt,
and I found that maytain a lot of microplastics because
the ocean is contaminated with plastics all over, and that's
(25:17):
why you got to be careful with that salt. So
I'm going to give you a solution of a salt
that you can use. But studies have the European people
have already found out and they're doing the study in
Europe as well as America. They've found out that the
these levels are very high particles and they're traditional harvests salt.
It's better to do the reg excuse me, it's better
(25:39):
to do the regular salt than it is to do
sea salt. And the most common type of plastics are
found in polyarthyline and they make up like the plastic bottles.
That's where they come from. Well, the ocean is full
of those plastic bottles. So now it's it's I guess
it's leaked into the water and so and then it
(26:01):
leaps into the salt, and so the sea salt may
have some issue with that. But I'm going to give
you another salt a little later on as a solution
which you can use instead of regular sea saw. And
I use this salt either. I didn't know I was
using the salt for any special reason, but I was
using it because you know, I don't know, I just
(26:24):
found it to be using it. So sea salt will
contributed meaningly to the overall exposure. Because what you need
to do is consider mine rock salt or human lady
in pink salt. I use a lot of pink salt.
I don't know why I've used. I just it's just
come in the cannon.
Speaker 7 (26:41):
Now.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
I just use that. And I bought it a long
time ago, so now I mainly use it. I didn't
it wasn't using it for any special purpose. But I'm glad.
But anyway you can get uh, you could choose brands
of traditional harvesting methods and third party purity testing for
added trans urgency. Sometimes I do this thing, and I think,
(27:05):
you know what, it's almost like an AD something, you know,
like you haven't you're not using this regular salt, it
maybe go down. It's almost like an AD. I don't
hope that's not what what I'm reading here about. Anyway.
That's the number one is sea salt. So you have
to avoid sea salt, get the regular salt, getting mine salt,
(27:28):
or you know, or either like I said, you can
get himaland pink salt, which is what I use. Okay,
I'm not a great salt eater anyway, I don't really
care for salt anyway. Beer, did you know U's in beer?
Plastics is in beer? Microplastics have been detected in various
(27:50):
beer samples, like introduced through contaminated water resources, and during
the brewing process they found that that it has a
lot of it in it. German Bearer brands from microplastic fibers,
fragments and granular material in all samples of the beer,
(28:12):
which counts for about two to seventy fibers per per
about two to seventy nine fibers per leader a study
and plus one they found that the plastic particles are
in all Bearer brands tested across the US and Canada.
So if you're drinking beer, maybe you need to think
(28:36):
about that. Maybe not. We'll see what it is and
see what it harms you. But here's what you can
choose and say it. Support your local breweries. You know
they are cleaner, a little bit cleaner than the overall
large they're prioritizing sustainable practices, and they use filter the
(28:58):
water and the local bewers. So you might start saying, well,
maybe we drink a local beer, the regular modern beer.
Now moderating beer in consumption, you have to not drinking
a whole six pack anymore like you used to. Maybe
just drink maybe three or four beers and you should
(29:19):
have enough stand hydrated. It's very important. What water can
also help reduce overall microplastic intakes. So if you're drinking
good water, good filter the water. Make sure you have
a filter system on you think if you don't have one,
get one, because they're already telling you that they have
the p F s A, which are or what they
(29:42):
call them, standard chemicals and and almost in everything. But
now there's a p p p F A PF A
s is. A PFA is is a chemical that's in
your water. So you should make sure if you don't
have a filter on your water or your water s
put one on there. Go get one. You can get
one for ten or twenty dollars if you can't afford
(30:04):
the regular purification in your in your house. If you
can't afford that, then you can do that. But that's
one way to help too, by drinking good clear water.
So you but make sure it's filtered the water because
that help takes out a lot of the microplastic. Okay,
(30:24):
Number three is bottled water. Now we already know that
we've been told a lot of the number of times
about drinking water from plastic containers and then from plastic there.
But studies have shown that bottle of water can contain
a significant number of microplastic. They got a lot of
particles of it, like originating from the packaging and the
(30:46):
bottling process or the whole thing is there causing that.
For instance, research indicates that bottle samples contain an average
of three hundred and twenty five microplastic particles per eater,
So that's quite a bit I would assume. I'm not.
I don't know what what a micro classic would be.
(31:09):
I guess it must be a really small little thing
which you can hardly see. But it's in there in
the water anyway. So you've got to be very careful
with what's happening water. Don't go around and fool them
around dealing with the water. If you're gonna drink the water,
like I said, make sure you put get yourself some
(31:29):
a filter you can get. You can get the kind
you can attached to your faucet, I'll tell you one
more time. And you can also get the kind that
you put in your refrigerator like a breeder, and you
put it in there and you drink your water from there.
You can do that. No, now what what what to choose?
(31:50):
You should choose like I say, tap filter, tap water.
That's what they're saying here, so our I'll already told
you the story. Does and stainless steel or glass containers
when you do it. Do not drink from plastic bottles,
especially if they've been left in the sun any time.
Get away from that. We know that because we've talked
(32:11):
about it before. How not only are you getting microplastic
but you're getting other things that are harm for you
to you when you drink from plastic plan but almost
all the water we get when you go to stores
all in the little plastic things. We don't know if
the cheap plastic bottle or well plastic bottle or whatever. Well,
we might need to start thinking about the water that
(32:35):
we drink. You might have to carry our water with us.
There the way it looks okay, now here's what you
choose is said diversity. Diversify your protein sources by incorporating
plant based proteins. Oh wait a minute, I'm way ahead
of myself. I want to talk about shellfish. Shellfish also
have a lot of plastic. Now, I love shrimp. I
(32:58):
just bought some. I like muscles, so I don't buy those,
but I do buy the shrimp clowns and auses. I
don't buy all of them. They are filter They are
filter feeders, making them susceptible to accumulating microplastics from their environment.
(33:19):
And the reach has shown that these organisms are canning
and ingest microplastics, which are then passed on to consumers.
You get it. So I like shrimps. I have a
lot of strimp in my freezer. Now that I just
cook every once in a while, it's easier for me
to cook too. So I'm gonna have to be careful
(33:41):
with that from now on, and you should too. What
you choose instead, diversify your protein sauces by incorporating plant
based UH proteins, use plant based plant based poultry UH.
And there's certain sauce certain sources of fish known for
(34:02):
lower plastic and contamination. The study found that fish from
Australia had lower microplastics, and I think also fish that
come from places like Alaska, it probably don't have as
much because it's up higher and the water seemed to
run down south. I guess it goes back up sooner
or later. But you might try that too. So I'm
(34:25):
gonna have to try that and not eat so many
shellfish as much as I did before. So that's for me. Now.
They got another one here, and it's it's like rice rice.
I eat a lot of rice. I like rice. I
don't want to give up rice. Rice seems it seemed
(34:48):
like a clean staple. It does, you know, it can
carry the firing levels of plastic though I don't understand
how it should get into rice. I don't know what
they were process for a whole bit, but it's supposed
In the Journal of Hazardous Materials they found that polyethylene
polypropylene pet in ninety five percent of the sore bought
(35:14):
rice samples. So all it's had a lot of different
stuff in it. I guess all of our food has
something in it that's not right. It's hard to get
away from and it's hard to find healthy food anymore.
That's why they come up with organic and all this
other kinds. Contamination didn't differ much between paper and plastic
(35:35):
packaging the dead they're in both of those and simply
shaking the bag had no effect. However, washing rice reduced
plastic by up to forty percent. So I always wash
my rice when I'm cooking the dry rice, I wash
it one that I washed it twice, and when I remember,
(35:56):
we always washed it more than that. But we were
washing it to get the stars out of it, so
were was too much starts in it, so we might
wash it four or five times, have a strain to
wash it, run through the strainer, put another wash it.
So I guess what we were doing the right thing
when we were doing that. But you gotta do that.
So get you a strainer, whatever it is, wash your
(36:18):
rice if you're gonna cook it, and make sure you
do the right thing. The study to reveal that instant
pre cook rice contains full time more plastic. And I
got some pre cooked ress in you know, every once
in a while I'll put that in refrigerator because they
don't take a minute to cook. And it's real and
it's not that bad. You know, it tastes okay, but
in comparison, standard rice averages around three to four milligrams
(36:41):
per serverce depending on whether it's rent or not. You
gotta rent it, and so you're don't. Over time, this
could lead to nearly one gram of plastic annually the
rice consumption alone. So from what I see and from
what I'm hearing here, it sound to me like microplastics
(37:02):
and almost everything that we eat or even our water,
even our air. It's it's just that bad. So they
said for for brice, they say, choose boat or minimally
processed rice, rice thoroughly and worship before thoroughly before you're
cooking it. Skipping instant varieties and choosing organic are low
(37:27):
intervention rice further can reduce exposure and sport a better
other body health. So that's what you can do. Excuse me.
And they may have a drinking my cocoa. I'm drinking cocoa. Mmm.
I don't drink coffee. I don't drink coffee because it
(37:49):
cost me to have constantncy and I don't want that.
A lot of people drink that stuff. I like coffee,
it's great, but the problems are not worth it. Siming. Okay,
they got another another item in food this subject. And
sure anyway, apples and carrots. Apples and carrots are another
(38:10):
sudden now that hits me hard because I eat an
apple every day every morning. Usually I'll eat fuji apple,
but they kind of sweet. Sometimes they're too sweet, so
I get changed. This weekend, I'm eating gala. I get
up in the morning, I eat gala, apples, grapes and
(38:31):
a small piece of banana. That's usually my early meal
what I eat. Now, A lot of people don't eat that.
Sometimes I'll fry eggs and I'll eat turkey, bacon or
something like that and bread. I try to stay from
some of that all the time. But I eat my
apple every morning, my apples, So I don't know. Back
(38:52):
in the day. You know, people say apple a day,
keep the doctor away, and so maybe that's on my mind.
I'm not sure, but that's what I do. He said.
Apples are the number one that's contaminated and carrits. Apple
(39:13):
and carriss are the number one food. Number would have
to be something that I really like and really careful about. Anyway,
choose this instead. So it's telling me not to choose
choose unpackaged produce when possible. I always don't like my produce.
All my vegetables in packages. I look for the ones
(39:36):
that's open, you know. Now. I don't know if that
really bothered me, but I always felt when I go in,
I'm looking for greens or some kind of vegetable and
it's in and it's in a container or plastic thing.
I don't know how long it's been there. I don't
know when they did it. I know they got sometimes
they'll have uh dates on when they use or the
(39:58):
freeze or something like that, but I don't know any
of that. So I kind of back away from that.
And I don't like my vegetables. I like my vessels
out to be breathing and in the air, and so
I would buy that kind of a vegetables. Plus I
have a few friends that have a garden, and you
have somebody who have a garden and you can get
your fresh vegetables and tomatoes and things like. Oh man,
(40:22):
my friend has has a had he growing tomatoes. I
had stopped eating tomatoes for a long time. I didn't
eat tomatoes because the tomatoes didn't taste right. It just
tastes funny and everything. These tomatoes taste just like old tomatoes.
You know when you were a kid and you walk
around with a piece of salt and a piece of paper,
(40:45):
or sometimes you even had the whole salt stickeen and
a little beaty saut sickered. You have them in your pocket.
You see a see a garden or somewhere where somebody
have grown tomatoes, you get it and put that salt
in that. Man, it was really good. We sued to
eat eat a lot of tomatoes back in those days.
I get in my grandmother's guard and I find see
(41:06):
a red one. I mean, I put it and put
that salt on it, and eating is really good. But
that was it was. I was the tomatoes. But choose
unpackaged products, you know, products out so I'm used to
products being fresh. I don't want them wrapped up in
no in the thing. And shop for locals and resources
(41:27):
like transparent farming practices you can find somewhere, or they
have like these farm farmers market. Find one of those
and you get the food and then you know the
regular store. Shoot also they have open vegetables and open
fruits and things like that too. But wash your plastics
(41:47):
thoroughly and consider peeling when appropriate. Like my apples, I
don't eat the skin out pulled up all right, I
take the skin off of them, all of them. Rotated
for organic or seasonal produce can also help reduce long
term exposure for any one source. Now we know the
microplastics are there, well, well, someone say, well, I don't care.
(42:10):
You might need to care because if it's gonna cause
you have a problem with your heart, with your immune system, hey,
it's not worth it. It's passing it up. So do
the right thing and keep yourself healthy. I got a
caller calling you on the air.
Speaker 7 (42:25):
Hey, Grandpa, ho are you doing.
Speaker 1 (42:27):
I'm doing real fine. How are you today? We're talking
about something unusual, something that we don't normally talk about,
microplastics in the air in your food and in the water.
Speaker 8 (42:39):
Well, it's interesting that you're talking about that, and I
think it's a real good subject because I remember when
we used to have Coca cola in a twelve ounce bottle,
and then they gave us sixteen ounce bottles and they
will be and they were glass. Everything was glad, and
(43:00):
then if you want to get a quarter soda pop,
it was put in a glass bottom. If you got milk,
it was in a glass bottom. And now they're talking about.
Speaker 7 (43:14):
Saved the wells and saved the fish and saved.
Speaker 8 (43:17):
The ocean because the ocean has got all the plastic
that we're dumping into it from the use of the
plastics that we're using for containers, right, so you can
see and it's a known fact that if you use
your microwave that you taking the microwave and heating up
(43:40):
the food and it's done doing nothing but metastasizing the
plastic over into the food that you're about to eat,
right Mr. So So it's a it's it's a very
good subject to talk about because, like you said, say
(44:00):
somebody's got a tablespoon or plastic get in their head already,
that's not a good idea.
Speaker 6 (44:07):
MM.
Speaker 1 (44:07):
Hmm.
Speaker 7 (44:09):
Yeah. I mean if you if you had some glass.
Speaker 8 (44:12):
In your head, you wouldn't be problem not.
Speaker 1 (44:16):
Well, you're right on what the suthern you are saying.
You're saying all the right things. We need to be
careful about certain foods now because it causes us too
many problems. I think.
Speaker 7 (44:29):
Well, even ice cream.
Speaker 8 (44:32):
Used to be put in paper products, and now they've
got ice cream and plastic jug tugs.
Speaker 1 (44:38):
Yeah, yeah, or paper even the paper you can get
nano plastics from.
Speaker 8 (44:45):
Right, right, so you you can you can have every
plastic plastic for as much as it is not good
for the overall uh geological fingerprint of the of the
(45:07):
of the world is being used those humans perilously.
Speaker 1 (45:13):
Yeah. Hey, yeah, I appreciate your calling because, uh, we
need to really consider this for our health.
Speaker 7 (45:24):
Yeah, I mean, especially when you're getting older, because they
think about all these people.
Speaker 8 (45:28):
Now who've got no property, no property.
Speaker 7 (45:32):
I think that's what it is.
Speaker 8 (45:33):
They keep saying they got circulation problems and people claiming
they got more diabetes than they used to have. And
it may have something to do with all this plastic
is being produced and put into our food supply.
Speaker 1 (45:49):
Right, you're right about that. All right, I thank you
for calling. Okay, the caller was right. He was saying
a lot of good things. It's something we you know
what some people say, Well, I ain't worrying about now,
I'm worrying about you know, you need to worry about
things right now and really and start doing the right
(46:10):
thing now. The seventh the lesson the last one they gave,
and that was tea. Now, I don't drink a lot
of tea, but some people do drink a lot of
tea sometimes if I'm going out, if I'm out dinner,
I don't drink a lot of the other drinks. I
might drink wine, or I'll drink of tea and I've
(46:31):
had the tea. You know, certain plastic tea bags, the
tea bags carries a lot of microplastics. When you're seeving
it in that hot water, it's releasing millions of plastoplastic
from the bag, the bag that they put in. Non
plastic particles are in the beverages that we drink, and
(46:53):
if they have if it's a plastic container, you know
you're getting microplastic. When you see this set. I found
that they're seeping in the single plastic in a tea bag.
When you're brewing the temperatures releasing a lot of different
microplastics into your drink or your tea. So what you're
supposed to use instead use leaf tea, use the dry tea.
(47:17):
Don't get the ones in the tea bag because that
tea bag is loaded with microplastic. You don't want to
do that with used sainly steel and glass infusures when
you do that. But here's one thing that said I
thought was funny. They said, make a plastic free tea infuser. Well,
(47:39):
that looks like to me that's been feeding the purpose.
But I I would say, sick with the steel. I
have one mining steel and it works. You know, it's
really like a little stiffy. You put your put those uh,
your your your your your tea in that and there's
not in loose tea. You put it in there and
you cook your tea from that way, not necessarily from
(47:59):
the bag. Don't use those bags. Select the brands that
are biodegradable. If you're going to use anything else a
plastic tea bag, make sure you do that. Okay, Now
that's the show for the day, and it's just something
a reminder that makes you be aware. A lot of
times when I do this show, later on, I hear
about something that's worked that you don't want to deal with.
(48:22):
The bottom line, reducing your exposure from microplastic involved making
some mindful choice. You just have to make a few
choices about the food and the beverages that you consume.
And as you're getting older, you need to know that
by selecting alternatives you have lower your contamination and supporting
sustainable plastics. So we have to do all this stuff
(48:43):
now because our food is really is not really what
it's supposed to be for us to be eating. So
we have to be very careful that all time to
make sure we're eating the right thing. Okay, there's a
grand farmer here every week with something good to tell you.
Number One showing the internet. Make sure you tune in,
tell all your friends to tune in too, and then
then we're gonna have fun. So a lots of time
(49:05):
we have fun. We do different things. Okay, so I'll
see you next week. Make sure you tune in.
