In this solo episode, Dhru Purohit dissects a viral study that claimed glass bottles contain more microplastics than plastic bottles, addressing widespread concerns and confusion. He clarifies that the microplastics likely originate from painted metal caps, not the glass itself, and emphasizes that while microplastics are a concern, they are ubiquitous in air, dust, and food, making the focus on glass bottles disproportionate. Dhru advises listeners to filter their water, improve indoor air quality, avoid plastic cutting boards, and prioritize overall health through whole foods, exercise, and quality sleep, rather than panicking over every headline. He also shares insights from an expert, Dr. Sergio Sanchez, and promotes his newsletter, "Try This," for more in-depth health information.
