It must have been enough since his sperm count increased 4x, no?
Either the filter worked or microplastics don't effect sperm count much.

I’ve got an anti-tiger rock to sell you…
“Something changed, therefore this must be the reason” is a fallacy if there isn’t additional supporting evidence.

We are talking about an anecdote here, not giving general advice based on scientific literature.
That said. If I lived in a village that was attacked by tigers regularly for 6 months, and I installed a tiger filter which stopped the attacks, I would gladly pay 30 bucks for that ($30 is what a faucet water filter costs).
Disclaimer: I don't own a water filter or a tiger filter.
Is that enough?
I keep reading about how microplastics can be too small for a carbon filter and that you would need a reverse osmosis device, to completely remove plastics.
I can't say am really sold on using a device with a plastic membrane to completely remove plastics.
All the online materials on the topic are for the majority just product placements, it feels very disorienting to be able to make a data driven decision. Do you have any insight.
