Dr. Roger Seheult is quadruple board-certified in Internal Medicine, Pulmonary Diseases, Critical Care Medicine, and Sleep Medicine through the American Board of Internal Medicine. Dr. Seheult joins our MBB Report to break down the prevalence of microplastics and nanoplastics in our oceans, our drinking water, our clothes, our make up and our food, and help you understand what that means for your health. He shares the science behind leaching, when the forever chemicals in plastics seep into your food and your body. Dr. Seheult explains that the misleading term "BPA-Free" does NOT mean something is free of harmful chemicals, and how loopholes in regulations mean BPA-like chemicals are still in most common household products. Mayim and Jonathan tackle the different ways YOU can take actionable steps to decrease the amount of microplastics in your home and in your body. WATCH NOW to uncover the horrifying reality of microplastics and nanoplastics and how you can better protect yourself against them!
