Mildly related, here’s another instance of harmful things you can buy on Amazon: “negative ion” trinkets that are actually radioactive [1].

I'm amazed that a person making "negative ion wellness bracelets" would go to the effort and expense of putting a radioactive material in there to actually generate negative ions! Why not just put a copper-colored thread in there and claim it makes negative ions?

Maybe they're actually deluded and believe their product works instead of just a scammer, and they think the radioactive material is necessary.

> In this video we go through all of the testing I did over the last few months to determine what's in these products and if they're dangerous.

I wish for something important like this they would just say the result in the description. Gotta get that ad money I guess.
