Technical TLDR;
The seeds of the Moringa tree are processed to produce a “salt based extract” which acts as a coagulant that’s better than traditional alum-based products in floccing microparticles for easier filtration.
Isn’t that tree one of those praised by natural health influencers? Is it still safe to consume if it absorbs all the junk?
Do not eat trees unless they’re one of the trees that it’s okay to eat
Same applies to fruits, vegetables, animals and rocks
sounds like he is saying the sead is used as a component of a filter rather than the tree doing the filter as part of its life cycle. I thought @twelvety@fedia.io did the tldr to relate that particular part honestly.
Do you have a blog or podcast or something I could follow?
TLDR it’s the Moringa tree

Oh I see, they hide the opt-out for “turn off your ‘ad-blocker’” in a different corner.
Thanks.
