An honest question to the pro-vax people on this sub, why do you trust the state on the vaccine issue?

Short of getting an extremely good quality water filter for your home, you still end up showering in it even if you change your regular drinking water.

We ought to have discussions about this on this sub.

One article I've just read suggests that an activated carbon filter can remove some phthalates, but not necessarily all. A nano-filtration system would be more expensive but also more effective. Carbon filters, at least, are commonly available for showerheads.

When you think about it, that's going to make its way into the foods you consume as well.

Growing your own food and raising livestock could mitigate this, unless phthalates can make their way into rainwater (which I can't find any information on).

Eating organic food could also help reduce some exposure.

We ought to have discussions about this on this sub.

I started the ball rolling with this post but I agree I'd like to see more healthy clean living posts.

A month or so ago, I was attempting to look for chemical formulations for alternative skin and hair products to use as a baseline for a personal project. It led me down a related rabbithole where I ended up encountering a lot of information on the microplastics-- specifically within personal use products. I had planned on making a big post about it, but I didn't really know where I would post it for one, didn't know if it would end up garnering poor engagment (because it would require a lot more effort than my usual ADHD-addled drive-by posts), and we have a lot going on lately with several changes in my home. I stupidly didn't save everything, or have it tabbed off for later, but here's some basic links to peruse through.

NJ state website article with some basic information-- and this shows that it's obvious it's known about as a major problem.

A study done by Brown University over 50 households in California, and the various garbage in/around them. This is very interesting, and has explanations for the graphs:

Another article that further explains microplastics, impact on the environment, etc.

Thanks so much for the links. If you ever decide to continue researching this, this sub would be a great place. I know it would get a lot of attention.

DDT has been banned in the USA since the 1970s and is not commonly used in most countries around the world. Nonetheless, the substance has been detected in Antarctican penguins decades later: https://www.vims.edu/research/topics/global_change/ts_archive/ddt_ice.php

There's also some concern that glacial melting in Antarctica could release large amounts of this xenoestrogen into the environment.
