- Food lover Nazrudin Rahman is shocked to hear that microplastics are in our food, water and air. Here’s how the cooking show host discovers how to enjoy his food again - and keep his family healthy.
Malaysian food show host Nazrudin Rahman thinks a lot about what his family eats. He sets off on a journey to learn more about an almost invisible problem: tiny plastic particles in his lunch and dinner. He discovers that the problem is closely connected to waste disposal and doesn’t just involve food. He’d better kick out some of the products in his bathroom as well.
DW presents: UNSEEN (Five-part documentary series)
Invisible guests in your food, your hometown sinking, unhealthy dust hiding in your lungs. Discover heroes with amazing solutions - and inspiration for a better life!

UNSEEN opens your eyes. We travel through Southeast Asia and discover stories about people whose lives could be yours. In Indonesia, children suffer from air pollution - something doctors, architects and entrepreneurs are fighting with innovative and original concepts. Then we head to Malaysia for an episode in learning how to deal with microplastics in food. We follow a fan of great cuisine on his own personal journey. What’s safe to eat and drink? Which products are good, and which don’t measure up? Next up is Thailand’s capital Bangkok, one of Asia’s sinking cities. Its inhabitants prepare for future floods, adapting their city and seeking tools to make their homes safe. In Vietnam we get caught in gridlock. Nothing new! But this time, we’re stuck with some cool rappers teaching people how not to go crazy in traffic. And finally, in Taiwan, it’s all about green tech. Learn about the hopes and limits of the new technologies being developed to solve life’s challenges. Join us on an exciting trip in five episodes - one that will open your eyes to beastly challenges and promising solutions!

This documentary utterly fails to mention a Swedish study on the effect of nanoplastics (which all microplastics eventually turn into and then lasts for thousands of years) on animal brains (where it accumulates and is impossible to remove, like in the rest of the body) showed it causes a degree of permanent depression and loss of cognition proportional to the dosage. Plastics has to be banned, any other approach is meaningless, like recycling and new types of plastics. Silicone can easily replace it but the global chemical industry would lose a little bit money, so it's not going to happen anytime soon. This documentary says "we don't know the effects" of microplastics, we do. It's going to etch away at our souls and happiness for decades even if all plastics is banned today, just like the numerous other progress and happiness-blocking aspects the corporate syndicates called the EU and the US, which DW defends at every opportunity by either lying or lying by omission. And as it so happens, this documentary ends with "it starts with us", which is the eternal, #1 corporate/billionaire/global chemical/food/financial/petroleum industry public relations mantra of doing nothing about climate disaster, microplastics, poverty, the ongoing diabetes, Alzheimers and cancer epidemics, legalized corruption, exploitative neocolonialism and all the other problems there are, and just blaming people's habits once in a while instead. Example: Oil companies, through psychopathic PR firms, invented the term "personal responsibility" when it comes to pollution from cars to divert and thereby mute all discussion about legislative restrictions on oil companies and the use of oil, they did it a very long time ago and it worked. To this day, if the six biggest cruise ships (not companies, but ships) were put out of commission, it would equal all of Europe never using a single car again, ever. To avoid this, the global corporate oligarchy tell us about "personal responsibility". It's the same with microplastics. "It starts with us" is a slogan invented by corporations to avoid ever solving the problem for the benefit of their already insane profits.
There was a recent study linking micro-plastics with infertility. The study predicted that at this projection most men would be infertile by 2045.
It's easier to place the onus on regular people than for corporate and governments to fix the problem. Tye regular citizen has capacity to feel guilt; can't say the same for corporate and governments.
When it comes to plastics, 'recycling' is just greenwashing.
Only 8.3 % of all plastic is recycled in the US, for one (EPA's 2018 data), and I don't think it's too different across other countries. We have to band together to get the government to phase out and ban plastics because otherwise, we'll keep dumping the other 91.7% in the environment. Without regulatory pressure, no large company is going to volunteer to use way less plastic than its competitors and put itself under such disadvantage.
Ignore whatever the plastic industry says about how 'it's recyclable, really'. They've had decades to solve the problem with only market pressure working on them and they didn't. Plastic pollution is a negative externality-something they don't fully pay for its costs, and whose costs are shouldered by everyone else in society. Without regulation forcing them to, what incentive they have to change anything?
@@fionahaliburton3756 I said phase out before banning plastic. Obviously there's a need to let innovation for alternatives to be developed, tested and put to market at economies of scale prices that will be competitive with plastic (which the government can certainly incentivise--how did Tesla grow so fast, for one? Not without incentives).
Stop throwing plastic into the ocean? Such a brilliant simplistic idea! The same way that the way to reduce smoking is just for people to stop smoking less, I bet? Instead of tackling the tobacco industry's record of marketing to the young and getting them addicted young in decades past? History should be a lesson for us on what paths are viable. It's as if there won't be companies in developed countries who say they're recycling their plastic, but is just exporting it out to developing countries.
Systemic problems require systemic solutions too. Insisting that the government doesn't need to begin creating penalties against, say, single-use plastic types is shortsighted and ahistorical.
@@alb0zfinest a link to the study?
What you dump into the ocean the ocean gives it back,simple-as-that
I don't know about you but I haven't dumped plastic in the ocean, it's not the populations doing this it's faceless entities, companies and shady governments, while it is humans, it's actually very few humans. If i could get all my stuff wrapped in paper and my liquids in glass I would be quite happy. But I Simply Can't. But I do what I can.
true.
@@a-aron2276 Do you eat fish ?
@@a-aron2276 nobody does that, I mean even if you throw the plastic away it goes into rubbish bin and into landfill. All the plastic comes from crap countries in asia and africa.
@@Cortesevasive you know that the west offloads it’s waste including recycling onto poorer countries
The west don’t want to spend money on disposing the waste properly and why not spoil other countries instead…
So important. Please share this video. The decision is up to us as to what we choose to consume. Please consider consuming products that comes with recyclable plastic containers, or that doesnt come with plastic at all. We cant trust our governments to take care of this problem, they are too slow, so it's up to us to be aware of this and take the necessary steps!
Hi @Zohar Lindenbaum, thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts on the topic!
Exactly, but people don’t care enough even though it’s incredibly bad for our health
In several decades we'll be counting how much seafood in our plastic ((((((
In several decades there won't be anymore seafood left. :(
@@mickgatz214 In several decades we'll run out of food
we'll probably have gut bacteria that's able to decompose plastic
@@seafoam6119 may be you're right, people every time come up with an idea how to solve any problem.
The microplastic isn’t just in sea food though.
Wow. A Malaysian-German Production. Love it
Well south East Asian countries are the ones dumping all their plastic waste into their rivers, which then go out to sea
@@zochbuppet448 bull, we in the west export the plastic there. And what makes you think that the water bottle you buy in the west doesn't end up in their sea?
@@YKKY No Stupid. The waste in their rivers is from the rural areas not having plastic collections.
The plastic that was sent there from the west was never thrown in the rivers. It was sent to some countries, where companies had that had set up recycling plants, both legally and illegally.
@@zochbuppet448 true like china and indonesia
@@zochbuppet448 Not just Southeast Asia. 🙂
30 seconds in: Yeah, production value, check.
Jalan-Jalan Cari Makan is such a hit on TV3 😍 Love the enthusiasm in each episode from Naz.
Anything DW makes is top notch. You guys probably just made the highest production value documentary in Malaysia
This is an eye-opener. Thanks DW for such an informative doc.
This very cute but is this a real solution? Industrial use of plastic is just growing. The UN could help stop this mess.
Synthetic fibers are a huge problem too. The lent from washing and drying is micro plastic being pumped both into the water and air depending on whether you use electric washers and dryers.
No that is not a real problem we will go into the clothing industry soon but now is not the time.
@@insectbite1714 are you say the plastic most people's cloths are made out of are not producing plastic lent?
"That is not a real problem" says someone who don't know anything and ready to dismiss something that he does not understand. Yes it is a real problem most of our clothes today or made of polyester and other synthetic fibers that are basically plastics and when we used electric washers and dryers those materials do break down into microplastics, so yeah she is right. Your words were better left unsaid.
This was really interesting, thank you for making this! The chef has a lovely family, too!
Ikr his kids are so cute
Thank you DW Documentary for this quality documentary again!!!!!!!
Hi @Alex Trafalgar, thank you too for watching and commenting!
this should be taught in schools.
Thank you so much for this fantastic video!
Good to know, thank you for the report!
Grow more Hemp and use products made with Hemp.
Mushrooms too.🍄
To replace plastics & to break it down.
So important video !!!! Thanks a lot!!!
Hi @Martha Muterperel, thanks for watching and commenting!
Love this channel..great topic
Tap water travels through PVC pipe, cement pipes, asbestos pipes and metal pipes.
whats your point
Thank you so much 💕
DW is doing a great job in creating awareness through such good contents. I never miss a video
Let us be responsible and play the role in keeping our mother earth a safe place to stay
Too late
Unfortunately that is too much to ask for most humans
yep too late
Unfortunately the people who need to see this most will be watching some youtube traah trash (no pun intended)
@@IOnlySmokeDaFinest you're right bro, most people don't care about what's important. They like nonsense and stupid stuff
Such an interesting documentary!
According to the netflix documentary Seaspiracy best is to eat no fish at all. The fishing industry apparently does most harm to the salife in comparison.....
Not just sea life. Commercial fishing is akin to burning an entire forest when slaughtering a few cows.
Go vegan
what an amazing family!
Positive guys. Thanks!
This was amazing. I love that they did this together as a Family
I have been watching this guy as a TV host for cartoon since I'm was in child's age.
Love DW TV and DW Documentary channel. Great educational content. Wish more people watched this. Let's all do our part and stop using plastics as much as possible.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! Be sure to share the video with your friends and family so that we can reach more people! :-)
i've been involved in shrimp farming years ago. we use plastic for the pond's structure. this method in fishes/shrimps is still carried out because it's easy and cheap. after I've watched this doco, I feel glad I'm not involved anymore
As a former worker in the fish farming industry and after watching this: Do you think that nano, micro plastics can get into shrimp's roe?
Our family recycles as much plastic and metals as the recycle place will take. We have reduced our trash that goes to landfill down to 2 small bags per month for a family of 3. It starts with not buying it in the first place, then, maybe they'll be forced to stop producing it. Zero demand means zero supply necessary. Everyday heros. 😉
Your right it starts with not buying plastic. Unfortunately most of the plastic we recycle ends up in landfill. A lot of plastic just isn't worth recycling and it ends up in landfill :-( Peace
And in that same month Coca Cola makes about 12 Billion plastic bottles not giving a flying f u c k
@@jimiplayscobo5877 it depends on the country, some recycle most of their plastic garbage some close to none
This is why not making it in the first place is better than recycling. Seems like common sense, right? It's kinda like not pooping where u eat, lol
@@cj37373 Is Recycling Worth It Anymore? The Truth Is Complicated. This is on YT not sure how to give the correct address. Check it out it was rather shocking to me
very good..
What about the 'Nano' Plastics?
It has been found in Snow in the alps and in streams and river systems.
Looks like there's no turning back. :(
We fucked Planet Earth . The sooner we go extinct , the quicker it will recover
there is always turning back, but we need to hurry up and end production of plastics. there's literally never any need to use plastics. if you pass laws doing heavy penalties to corporations that use plastics in their products, they will come up with non plastic materials in a weeks time to avoid incurring penalties. packaging is easy, it's electronics that would have to find innovative solutions, and who wouldn't want innovative solutions in electronics? it would be win win
Earth does not care, earth will adapt, climate change and pollution is about our survival
@@Pampilici we are what is remarkable about earth. Our extinction would more or less make earth just another planet
Lovely family ❤️
Humanity and plastics, bad combo. I hope we can start fixing this issue
What if you don't eat seafood at all? Is there still microplastics in the diet? I live in a land locked country and haven't had seafood as long as I can remember. I do eat fish rearly like about twice a year but I believe they are from rivers or farmed in inland ponds.
Ben - Stay away from all fish because it is extremely toxic.
man its not just in seafood, every animal is affected by microplastics because the whole ocean is full of it. one fish gets it, another fish eats that fish, a bird eat that fish etc
Good call to action. Free market solution, boycott plastic as much as possible. Use alternatives
REUSE--REDUCE--RECYCLE now is the time to Act ✨
@i-mm-o res they tried banning polybags in india it worked for just 3 months n ppl realised it's just so convenient to use polybags so why ban them🤨☹️☹️ so we're back to using it again sadly .I think it's more important to find the right alternative to this first isn't it
It doesn't "start with us." It starts with the manufacturers who actually choose to use so much plastic in the first place.
Yes yes I believe this!!! Everyday I go to the beach and lots plastics there!..so crazy..and terrible..
I recently read a book describing the dangers of microplastics. The abundance is frightening. Along with a plethora of cancers, it's been proven that it's the cause of low testosterone in men, and is the reason behind the declining birth rates. There's some real concerns that it could potentially lead to the decline of the human race. How did we allow this to happen? The naivety of past generation's can't be an excuse anymore. I have a graduate deg in particle physics, and can promise that climate change is no where near the concern that usurpacious regimes would lead you to believe, in order to enact over reaching legislation. Sentients is absolutely destructive on a micro scale, on the macro, it's a non factor; regardless of how you may feel. Our enhanced geo electric system and weakening magnetic field is the cause of change, and is solely brought in by our star. We're incapable of defeating our star, but we can make a genuine change with the pollutants were placing inside of our children, our planet and ourselves.
good to know
Great couples 💑

7:40 but tap water runs through pvc pipes, which is also plastic..?
Same thought. But bottled water either already ran on those same pipes and was also stored in plastic bottles so i think it will have more plastic
The bottled water is stored in a plastic bottle- that means that plastic leaches into it which means that in total their is less plastic in the tap water.
I guess it comes down to what else might be in tap water, in order to weight against which is worse as a whole.
We need to invent
bio -degradable
plastic-type materials
and quickly!
It is not because we don't, is because there's no profit for the corporates
it's already there, companies have to make the shift.

Great work on the video on an important topic!
one like is very very veri little bit for this video, thanke sooooo much DW 👍🏽👌🏽
How does this guy and his family stay so slim!!
plastic.
Misleading title. Removing gut and shales is normal; problem is chemical additives leaking from plastic are not just in guts or shales.
Was this documentary first filmed and showed in Malaysia? Then DW purchased and re-broadcast it?
Malaysian foodie in DW video haha
Hey DW i cant wait what the third part will be about ?
Hi @Vese Vese, part three covers Thailand’s capital Bangkok, one of Asia’s sinking cities. Its inhabitants prepare for future floods, adapting their city and seeking tools to make their homes safe.

Plastic is a petroleum based liquid spun into clothing, rug and carpet fiber. If your kids are sensitive (most are in degrees) they are wearing, laying and playing on fumes, and absorbing chemicals through their skin. I had a highly allergic kid to this and red and orange food dyes. We replaced everything with alternatives easily available over a reasonable time period. When it was all gone, he was normal in 48 hours. As they grow up, they know what "sets then off" ( they feel terrible physically) and self eliminate things. At 42, he walks in and says I'm nuts , ignore me, had a craving for Sweet Tarts. Hee!
This is really scary.
I heard it was being put in rice?? I never thought that it broke down that small This was very informative Thx
Bagus banget videonya dan semoga semakin banyak manusia peduli dengan bahaya mikroplastik dengan tidak membuang sampah di lautan dan aliran sungai...

Is it really easy to do so?
Few weeks back, a fresh water fish in our local market was found to have real plastic in its stomach.
Will this be the next asbestos?!!
Yes.
❤️
Were eating micro plastics with this one 🗣️🔥🔥
I guess DW team can do all the 5 documentaries in Indonesia, esp. Jakarta.
Haha that's true. But they need variations though
i would like to add some words too his... when you say we have to use less plastic. In mine opinion i think we should start at the base of the problem which is manufacturing. if there oil corp. will stop promoting reuse recycle reduce... to break the cycle do ban one use plastic(ex. plastic spoons, cups, plates, bags,...) the the industries will pump out less plastic for use to use there for our option is more narrow towards better life style. (We used to have bottle drink in glass where you send back to shops to get money back when now they promote only plastic bottles)...
❤️❤️👍👍👍👍
This is a disgusting fact of modern life. The plastic producers should be prosecuted world wide.
I don't think that it'll be easy to stop using plastic altogether.
I know that I'd be lost without the zip lock bags.
Did you know that you can custom size zip lock bags by using a hot knife?
I reuse the bags until they can no longer hold air or vacuum.
Unfortunately, there's no place to recycle them, so in the garbage they go.
我好喜欢这个频道的节目哦💖😳😳😳
Anyone afraid of plastic and population in the future?
Yes
What the name of app he used to scan if the items have micro plastic?
"Beat the Microbead"
Lovely family thanks for the info friends
Wasn't there a company which working on microbials which break down plastics faster. If we find away to use these and companies make profit would be great start
Literally 95% of what I buy comes from plastic. Cereal is wrapped in plastic, tofu, chips, lettuce, some fruits, etc. it seems like there isn't a sure fire way to avoid it (diet wise). Hmm
It's scary. Even if you grow your own food microplastics are in the soil and in plants
What a beautiful marriage between you too🙏 And your family is also beautiful. I honestly have to say I would of never knew about our food and water problems. I literally thought our country would tell us about this problem. But I thank you for sharing the information and tips you gave us🙏 God bless you all 🙏
It is called ruffage for those with low fiber diets. Plastics are inert, don't worry about it.
don't worry. Bangladesh create plastic bag, plastic bottle from jute.thats plastic bag, plaster bottle is healthy. this items as soon as intermarried in soil. also, it is not damage environment.
Walk walk find food!!
New research also has found nano plastics in fruit and vegetables as nano plastics are small anough to travel through the root systems of plants so there's no way to remove plastic from our diet.
Hi I'm zayd... Ehh
Pause awkward
Mom "are you serious you got your own name wrong...."
Me watching : 😂😂
Anyway this trully open my mind..
Act locally think globally
I find it ridiculous that the rhetoric of, we have to do our part, is solely on the consumer. Like it's our fault all this crap is in the air, food, water and, well everywhere. So this is a problem I can solve, or make better of? By doing exactly what, not buying the plastic stuff? That won't really help. This is on the companies and not the consumers. Companies that have polluted have invested billions to push this idea of; everyone can do there part, so the consumer has to feel bad while tons of plastic is being produced anyway. Yeah right, that makes perfect sense. Ok so avoid this consumer.
Here's a partial list of products to avoid made from petroleum:

By the way this is just a partial list. There's over 10,000 more items. So good luck consumer, because it's all your fault.
It'll only hurt you, if you are aware of it.
Yes. I'm deleting this video from my memory bank as I type. 😅✌
good to know this. I know its scary but it's the truth
Someone should tell them all the synthetic fibers of their clothes and fabrics of their sofas produce microplastic. Also his plastic watch and If floor is laminated it's also plastic. Camera that record this is plastic which will be needed to change with a better one ... 😗
What are you suggesting?
Obviously, we cannot completely stop using ALL products made from plastic, but we need to start somewhere. So, the easiest change we can make in our daily lives is to stop using disposable plastics like plastic bags, plastic utensils, and water bottles. There are reusable alternatives available. The damage human kind has already done is irreversible, but we can at least make an effort to slow further destruction of the planet by making small lifestyle changes for our own good.
How about not choosing fish or prawn as food? Then you can cut micro plastics consumption, isn’t it?
DW can you please make a documentary about the lying flat mouvement in china ? it would be a very great one ❤
Tang Ping movement?
Hi @Sauce please onegaishimasu, there's nothing planned on this topic yet, but we appreciate your suggestion.
hey 5:56 I think your rendering GPU was a little hot.
Welll, Karma is very real
HANS I agree but it points to the difference in science that explains and scientism that directs or misdirects humanity in the name of money and power. By the way, this is universal to humanity, east, west, north, or south.
Thanks for bringing this to our awareness.
But it's not so simple.
If a bag is used ONLY once then paper bag produces 3 times more carbon footprint than plastic while cotton bag produces 131 times that of plastic.
While it is true that we have to consider other factors like degradability, we shouldn't apply a one size fits all solution to the plastic problem.
The best solution is to have no packaging so consumers can bring their own reusable bags but clearly that's not always feasible.
Message delivered with humour, information, and family love. What's not to like about this documentary?
There goes full belly clams and Probably scallops 😢
Plastic Water bottle with cold water also contain micro particles ..Which can be inhaled by us..Or only hot things cotain I plastic ..

Also: Not really a documentary.
we can do something: don’t throw plastic
Nature will recycle ♻️
just don’t throw
But doctors say "Wild caught seafood is more nutritious".
It is but only because farmed seafood is often fed even worse garbage and kept in less than ideal conditions. Both are not great.
