It’s known as Mesopaper, and it basically looks like a grey-colored coffee filter of sorts that you simply place over the top of a water bottle or jar before pouring water through it. Mesopaper is capable of filtering out heavy metal toxins like lead, arsenic, and mercury, all while preserving important nutrients like calcium and magnesium that benefit health – and the best thing of all is that Mesopaper costs next to nothing to produce.

Sounds almost too good to be true.

from ^ this link: "The filters are now being sold on Amazon (a six-pack is $6.99; one 9″ diameter sheet can filter about 22 liters or six gallons, depending on how contaminated the water is), and the company expects that the first customers will be Americans preparing emergency kits or going on camping trips." (But the Amazon source reads "Currently unavailable"),

Too good to be true is right.

Had a neighbor selling some crap like this and wanted me to try it out. I filtered the water, then ran it through a still and showed him the metal crap that was left.

Good point Texas Jack, without testing it you can never be sure.
