I'll share another eBay question with you.

Hi.
I know this may sound like a completely potty question, but are these chips safe to put into a glass of drinking water? I am reading a terrifying book at the moment about how toxic flouride is, in our drinking water. It says that activated charcoal put into the water gets rid of the flouride. These look like the closest thing I have seen yet to what the book recommends.
Much obliged if you can let me know and sorry if it sounds a crazy question! Regards.

You never know jon, they might know more than us! Maybe we should all be terrified of tap water.

I can't begin to imagine what they are even asking about

Use a jug filter and leave your water to stand for a day before you drink it. You will actually notice the difference in taste. I read how different chemicals in the environment can affect you physically and mentally and how bad eating processed food can be so I gave up reading.

I assume it's not chips as in Fish and chips, you sell? Though if yoou leave them in the oven long enough they might aproximate activated charcoal.

It seems like a slow (but sure) way of doing it

However drinking distilled water also seems like a bad idea from what I gather

Try and sell him some tinfoil with a diagram of how to origami himself a stylish Gov proof hat

Well, here's the reply to my reply which was infact Petes reply.





Thanks for replying. I think you are right about giving up reading. It has now moved on to telling me that when the Government forces the economy to collapse, that we will all lose any money we have in the bank!! I should have stuck with the chapter on flouride.
Many thanks for your advice.
Warm Regards.
