This is a cheaper version, from the same company, that seems to be just as good as the one Dr. Attia showcased in his video. This is the ratio six. Total cost: $393.50 Not cheap, but not too expensive?

Same price as mine. I added the stainless steel filter for $39 extra. I don’t want to use paper filters.

^this is the concern at restaurants… One person traced the MAIN source of contamination to these more so than packaging [in one case] The recommendations are still terrible however (it recommended replacing vinyl with… PE…)

He thinks the issue is more already broken down MPs that get in the soil MORE so than packaging (which is not quite so likely to be micronanoplastics)
[eg the fruits/vegetables paper]
but this only suggests the problem will get exponentially worse with time. If they might not have health effects one year, with exponential growth [AND pre-existing plastic debt] they may suddenly trigger population-wide health effects in EVERYONE in several years (at the rate they’re going). At this point the real only hope [other than CR - too much for most to handle] is Ozempic, before this cursed administration might even take away our ability to get it…
