Plastic fibres found in tap water around the world

  I've heard that handling most plastics affect testosterone production. https://www.google.com.au/amp/s/www.anabolicmen.com/plastic-testosterone/amp/ https://www.google.com.au/amp/s/www.anabolicmen.com/plastic-... How can we avoid plastics in our food and water though? Could this be the causing the dropping testosterone levels the past few generations?

    Things like receipt paper (coated in particulate BPA) are very likely contributers as well. One has to wonder how much.

  Just checked my local water quality report and it has no mention of plastic fibers. That means I'm safe right? Not at all. Testing for the absence of specific dangers is not the same as safety. Consider getting a reverse osmosis system. It will remove compounds we don't even know about yet. If your water supply has chloramines in it be sure to get a catalytic carbon filter instead of a standard activated charcoal one. The standard charcoal filters will not effectively remove the chloramines and they will poison the RO membrane, reducing its effectiveness. Also think about a permeate pump, it increases the efficiency of the RO membrane without using electricity.

    I have a Britta filter, which I think is the activated charcoal you mention. What should I get instead?
