Hey Tan Man, i spent the entire day yesterday researching for a toaster oven which won't have a non-stick coating on the interior, and choosing between gravity water filters. I got myself into analysis paralysis as i didn't see any good options =)

- toaster ovens: seems all that are available on the market are using nonstick compounds on the interior of the oven: teflon, PTFEs, PFOAs, PFAS, chromium/zinc/galvanized or aluminized steel, etc. Read multiple mentions that those materials, when heated, can aerosolize from the inside walls and end up in your food.

- gravity water filters: Berkey, Pro One, Alexapure -- all are looking good from the first glance, but upon checking further there are certification/marketing games. out of those 3 i'm leaning towards Pro One + ordering an expensive lab test of the filtered water it produces. if the lab will return poor testing results, RO is my only option then.

could you recommend a save toaster oven and a gravity water filter? or point me into a trusted source of info please?

I just got my first pair of Rawganique underwear to test out, personally not a fan. How bad is it to have a cotton blend that is 95% organic cotton and 5% elastane like my favorite JCrew ones?

What about a good deodorant option?
