Mind-blowing: Men: There are microplastics in your testicles

Mindblowing Quotes from Evan McIntyre on Club Evan Radio:

"Always save your glass jars (like pickle jars) to reuse instead of storing things in plastic.  Why?  Once you go all glass, you will no longer have microplastics in your testicles.  I even use glass straws now).  - DJ Evan McIntyre - ClubEvan.com

“Human testicles contain microplastics and nanoplastics at levels three times higher than animal testes and human placentas, a new small study found.” - CNN

Celebrities are ‘cleaning’ their blood of microplastics. Here’s what the DJ Evan Blog: Microplastic Detox, Orlando Bloom, and a Hollywood Backstage Moment

When actor Orlando Bloom recently revealed that he had undergone a blood “cleansing” treatment called apheresis to remove microplastics and other toxins, it made headlines—and raised eyebrows. The idea of purifying your bloodstream sounds appealing, especially in a world filled with invisible pollutants, but the science behind it isn’t quite as clean-cut.

Now, full disclosure: Orlando and I go way back. We first met at the Lord of the Rings premiere in Los Angeles. I was there as a Unit Leader for the Soka Gakkai International (SGI-USA)—a lay Buddhist organization rooted in Nichiren Buddhism (you can learn more at sgi-usa.org). It was a once-in-a-lifetime event, and I was lucky enough to sit right behind Steven Spielberg. No joke—close enough to see his facial expressions as he took in Peter Jackson’s cinematic masterpiece, shot in breathtaking New Zealand.

After the premiere, I made my way to the red carpet after-hours party, where I found Orlando hanging out with Elijah Wood and the always-adorable Sean Astin. It was surreal. Now here’s the kicker—at that time, Orlando was also doing community service at the SGI center, including cleaning bathrooms. That’s right. Even a rising star like Bloom knew the value of humility and service. I asked him for a selfie, but he politely declined—said he was working. Respect.

(Here’s a photo of me with my friends from Microsoft, who were kind enough to invite me to this epic Hollywood moment. Total legend vibes.)

But back to the blood cleanse…

Apheresis is a legitimate medical procedure used to treat conditions like autoimmune disorders or abnormal blood proteins. But using it to flush out microplastics? That’s a stretch. There’s no current scientific evidence proving that microplastics can be effectively removed from the bloodstream this way.

Ironically, research shows that procedures like dialysis—which is similar to apheresis—may even introduce microplastics into the blood because of plastic tubing and filters in the machines. So yeah, trying to clean your blood of plastic... with plastic? That’s the paradox.

So, what are microplastics?

They’re everywhere: in our air, water, soil, and food. Some are manufactured, like microbeads once used in face scrubs. Others break off from larger plastic items—packaging, synthetic clothes, even tire dust on the road. One estimate suggests we ingest hundreds of microplastic particles every day. That’s wild.

Science is still figuring out what these particles do once they’re inside us. Early studies suggest links to inflammation, cardiovascular problems, and possibly even DNA damage. But so far, no large-scale studies confirm a direct cause-and-effect with diseases.

Bloom’s blood cleanse: Detox or trend?

It’s easy to want a quick fix—a celebrity-endorsed cleanse that promises to undo years of exposure to synthetic pollutants. But reality is messier. Right now, there’s no proven way to filter microplastics from the bloodstream, and ironically, these detox treatments might be adding more plastic into the mix.

Rather than chasing miracle procedures, the smarter move is reducing exposure—cutting back on single-use plastics, ditching synthetic fabrics, avoiding plastic food containers, and supporting policies that hold plastic producers accountable.

Orlando’s journey reflects a very real public concern: we all know we’re living with the consequences of plastic saturation. But solving that problem isn’t about hype. It’s about science, service, and systemic change—something he and I both learned in our time with SGI.

Until we find better solutions, the best detox is awareness, intention, and action.
