********CRITIQUES, RULES, AND NOTES********

Be aware of the following rules before posting comments:
- Please do not post summaries of the video in the comments - it damages retention on the video and YouTube is less likely to promote it (these videos cost me a lot of money to produce).

Critiques of my work are welcome! Please be aware of the following notes & rules before submitting critique:

Be mindful that this content is not all encompassing on the subject at hand and is self-limited for brevity to reach a wider audience. Also, be aware that I receive hundreds of YouTube comments per day, so the only way your critique can be considered is if you follow the steps outlined below. Finally, YouTube auto-deletes links, so I do not see most comments with links attached.

RULES:
If your comment is rude, you will be banned.
If your comment is not about the studies/topics at hand (i.e. extending to other outcomes not discussed) or offers critique with no scientific basis, it is unlikely to receive a response.

If you can follow these rules, I will try to address your critique and if there is merit, I will add an AMENDMENT to the content in question and pin it so everyone can see it (thank you!).

Mindsip insights from this episode:

Reduce microplastics exposure to lower heart risk

Individuals with microplastics in their arteries had a noticeably higher risk of heart attacks, strokes, and death from any cause over a three-year period.

#microplastics

Investigate microplastics in human carotid artery plaque

A recent study quantified the amount of micro and nanoplastics found within the plaque of human carotid arteries.

Acknowledge limitations of associative studies on plastics and heart disease

The research is an associative study, meaning it shows a link but does not prove that plastics directly cause heart disease, a limitation not widely discussed.

#heart

#plastic

Address microplastics to prevent endothelial dysfunction

Other studies provide a potential mechanism, indicating that micro and nanoplastics can cause endothelial dysfunction, inflammation, and oxidative stress.

Investigate factors protecting against microplastics despite arterial plaque

Despite having significant arterial plaque, around 40% of the study participants had no detectable microplastics in their bodies, suggesting some people are protected.
