José Christos, it seems to be bamboo day here at Hippyshopper - as well it should be, since it's so unbelievably versatile. However, the claims being made about this bamboo carbon seem a tad on the excessive side. I'm sure it does absorb odors, VOCs and humidity; is a good fuel; may even serve as a water purifier and improve the taste of rice and soup; is a good soil additive for gardening. It seems unlikely, though, that it absorbs microwave and CRT (tube-based computer monitors) radiation. However, we don't really need it to be all-knowing and all-seeing - six obvious benefits are certainly plenty. $19 USD. [GT]
