New Research: Microplastics Are Changing Soil and Our Food Supply

A new study reveals that microplastics in soil don’t just contaminate the environment — they actively alter soil fertility and crop production. While some plastics may appear to boost short-term growth, researchers warn that long-term impacts could be harmful, unpredictable, and widespread.

Why does this matter?
Because what enters the soil eventually enters plants, animals, and us. Microplastic pollution isn’t just an environmental issue — it’s a food system issue and ultimately a human health issue.

As science continues to uncover the effects of microplastics on ecosystems and people, testing becomes more important than ever. Understanding your own exposure is a powerful first step.

🌱🌍 Stay informed. Stay proactive.

BREAKING: The World’s Largest Dataset of Microplastics in Human Blood & Saliva

A major milestone just dropped in the fight against microplastic exposure. Arrow Lab Solutions, the parent company of Plastictox, has officially announced that they now hold the largest global dataset measuring microplastics directly from human blood and saliva — giving researchers and clinicians unprecedented insight into how deeply plastics are entering the human body.

This is HUGE for anyone concerned about long-term health, inflammation, endocrine disruption, and chronic exposure.

Every new dataset moves us closer to real answers — and real solutions.

🧠 Scientists have now found microplastics inside the brains of dementia patients — and the results are deeply concerning.
These tiny plastic particles don’t just stay in the environment — they’re showing up in our bodies and even our brains.

Incredible to see how conscious choices in lifestyle can help to reduce microplastics in the body! By choosing to not use things like plastic cutting boards or utinsels, and by utilzing non plastic containers for water and food storage, as well as using a sauna, you too can see a drop in microplastics.

Get your test today so you can track how well you are purging microplastics from your body!

I eliminated 85% of microplastics from my ej*****te.

Nov 2024: 165 particles/mL
July 2025: 20 particles/mL

Nearly identical drop in my blood same time period:
Oct 2024: 70 particles/mL
May 2025: 10 particles/mL

Important as a meta-analysis of 36 studies reveals that microplastics induce oxidative stress in the male reproductive system, leading to testicular inflammation, cell death, and reduced testosterone levels, s***m production, and motility.

Two studies last year showed that microplastics were detected in every human testicular and semen samples tested.

The therapy we think most responsible for this reduction is sauna as it also eliminated most environmental toxins in my body, including those linked to various plastics (200 F, 20 min daily w/ ice on the boys). I also avoid the big no-no’s like microwaving in plastic, plastic cutting board, and having a reverse osmosis water system.

To our knowledge, this is the first report of any correlation (esp in the same person over two timepoints) between blood and semen microplastic levels, demonstrating successful microplastic detoxification in the semen following that in the blood.

Can we “detox” microplastics from our blood?

A new Washington Post article explores pricey plasma-filtration treatments that claim to remove microplastics and PFAS from the body — but experts say there’s little proof they work.

Microplastics are showing up in arteries, brains, and organs — but removing them isn’t simple. Prevention and awareness still matter most.

This is an excellent read!

The particles are in our blood, brains and guts – and scientists are only beginning to learn what they do

New research from the American Chemical Society shows that medical infusion bags can leach microplastics directly into the bloodstream.

If they’re in our medical systems… imagine where else they’re showing up.

Microplastics aren't just affecting our health, but the health of marine life as well. While plastics may be helpful in some regards, do the benefits outweigh the costs?
