4/ The reduction in fuel availability is affecting both combat and logistics vehicles. Soldiers are also complaining about the poor quality of the lower-octane fuel that they are receiving, which is causing motors to fail due to its adulteration and likely contamination.

Noting here: if the cinnamon is above about 300 ppm of lead, it’s 100% human adulteration, not bioaccumulation. Ceylon cinnamon is the most lead-ified natural cinnamon, at around 250 ppm, and should be used sparingly.
What was seen last year? 2700 ppm to 5100 ppm, which is adulteration.
