   So, it turns out that reverse osmosis filtering adds a metric shitload of *nano*plastics to the water because it leaches off the Polyamide filter.
   
   Third wave coffee shops *always* RO their water and then add calcium and magnesium back at specific levels to ensure optimal flavor (through improved extraction). Plus this shields their espresso machines from damage of mineral buildup.
   
   So your latte comes with a side of nanoplastics. Enjoy!
   
   (at least the microplastics are filtered out, right?)

     Would it be surprising if the mysterious uptick in colon cancer among young Millennials has something to do with micro/nanoplastics? They did jump on the bottled water and third wave coffee trend pretty hard.

     @feld the really awesome thing is how many different directions you have to look for potential causes.

     @thatguyoverthere that's why our grandparents are dead: they didn't have access to this life saving technology

     @dew_the_dew @thatguyoverthere just add a spoonful of food-grade diatomaceous earth to your recipes and you'll be fine

     @dew_the_dew @feld it is amazing how quickly we've shitted up the planet with basically anything invented in the last 150 years

     @dew_the_dew @feld the thermal printer is a 1st world invention and how many endocrine disrupters are around us just from discarded receipts. It's not just the third world shitting things up. When they do it's literal shit which doesn't have a half life longer than 3 human lifespans thankfully

     it would be okay if the third world population wasn't also exploding on the back of our technological advances
