#12This is the dude that started that Juicero nonsense. Now he's circumventing all of the progress we've made in the last few hundred years with making water potable. This should end well.
Someone take away this guy's license to conduct business, please. Snake oil is played out.
Are you also against 100% natural organic snake oil?

#13I'm guessing a HN commenter posted this comment on the article's page:
> Let's call it Live Blockchain Water and watch the cash roll in!
I nearly spit my drink out.

#14It’s easy to dismiss the claim that fluoride is a mind control drug, if taken literally.
When I’ve probed just a little the actual claim I’ve heard is that it somehow affects personality, making for easier to control masses.
I don’t know whether that’s true but at least that’s a claim that can be falsified.
The other thing is:
“Tap water? You’re drinking toilet water with birth control drugs in them,”
There’s plenty of evidence for trace amount of estrogen and estrogen-like substances in the water. Maybe that’s not an issue, but it’s also true that testosterone levels in men are declining worldwide. However there can be a number of causes for this, and the two are not necessarily linked.
Not mentioned in this article, but on HN frontpage earlier, there’s tons of micro particles of plastic in oceans, and subsequently wild fish.
I don’t know those subjects enough to make any kind of informed observation… But dismissing all of it as conspiracy theory doesn’t really sound convincing anymore.

Microparticles of plastic in fish, in most cases, come from the water exiting a water treatment plant that is entering the environment. Some of these microparticles are manufactured, often in beauty or cleanser products, others are the result of plastics breaking down.
While tap water may contain these microparticles of plastic, there's no reason to believe that water out in the wild will be free of them.

Are we certain he isn't simply trolling us all on a level so big that he's making money doing it?

I’m a little sad you got downvotes. Although a slightly better approach might have been, it’s a raw business license. 100% natural and regulation free.
It’s easy to attack snake oil. The meta reference is a bit more amusing, because it has a recursive flavor. It also directly attacks the ethics of the business itself.

exactly my first thought. maybe a 'screw you' to all of the people who made fun of him after juicero crashed?

The FDA can jail people. Unfortunately, it takes ignoring their orders. By the time that happens in this case, it is reasonably likely that a few people will have died from this.
