Yes very true, I've heard that as well. Water has been such a frustration for me :laugh: Our city had a lead scare a while back and then I read that boiling water actually concentrates lead and flouride, so I stopped giving DD only boiled water. She now gets Brita water or boiled Brita water (I grew up on boiled water and it's a hard habit to break haha). I drink either Brita or reverse osmossis water as I can't stand the taste of anything else and hubby drinks anything.
I try to store all my water in either glass pitchers or I use aluminum bottles like the ones made by SIGG. I heard it's not good to re-use plastic water bottles because of not onl the possibility of leaching, but you can never clean them well enough and there's a bacterial risk.
Sometimes there's so many things to consider it drives me loopy
