Description

Recent studies have shown that humans now have plastic in their brains, blood vessels and internal organs. Much of this plastic gets into our bodies from how we eat, how we prepare food, how we heat food, the water we drink and how we brush our teeth.  Avoiding Plastic explains how plastic gets into our bodies. For example, when we use plastic cutting boards small plastic particles get mixed into our food. Plastic water bottles contain millions of microplastic particles. Toothbrush brist-les are made out of plastic so we consume plastic when we brush our teeth.
      Avoiding Plastic provides alternatives to plastic. The book recommends glass and wood cutting boards, natural bristle toothbrushes, glass storage containers instead of plastic. Hundreds of alter-natives are provided. For those using electric tooth-brushes, natural bristle replacement brushes are widely available. Avoiding Plastic suggests water filters and water bottles.
       Plastic tea bags and K-cups for coffee cause us to ingest plastic microparticles. Avoiding Plas-tic explains what tea bags are safe to use and how to make coffee without plastic contaminants. Many mattresses emit plastic particles. Organic mat-tresses protect children and adults from un-nec-essary exposure to plastic.
