A new study found that microplastic particles make their way to the male penis and are linked with erectile dysfunction.

This is a very disturbing study because many people still consume water out of plastic bottles,

consume ultra-processed package food that are wrapped in the very plastics that have recently been detected in human penile tissue.

Now, what was unique about this study is six subjects underwent a prosthesis for their

erectile dysfunction. The ages of the six subjects range between 46 years old

up to 81 years old. Now while they were under the knife undergoing this

prosthesis to supposedly enhance their ability to maintain an erection, the investigators thought, well, why don't we take some tissues from the penile tissue and see if there are detectable levels,

quantitatively and qualitative analysis was done to detect the presence of

microplastic particles. Now there were six primary microplastic

particles detected polystyrene, polyethylene chloride, PVC, polymethylaculate

which I don't really know where that is derived from and polyethylene triturptylene

there's a lot of these different compounds but mostly thallates and polypropylene and

polyethylene were the most prevalent detected microplastic particles that are less than 100 micrometers in their

size. Now that's what's really interesting about this is over the past 15 years there's

been this argument that these microplastics from disposable

coffee cups plastic water bottles as well as single-use plastic like fast food

wrappings and processed food containers and so forth These are too small to really be significant in terms of their health ramifications,

but as this study and recently published studies found,

we reviewed this in March of this year. The New England Journal of Medicine article found

the presence of microplastic particles and thalates in the crotted artery plaque.

These were individuals that were again undergoing a routine procedure to

de plaque if you will the cornered artery and as part of the study
