This article made me think of something I read years ago. Not about water but about stuff we take into our bodies in general.
The jist was "we don't eat enough sh*t".
It talked about how if we don't get enough germs then our bodies won't be able to generate the needed antibodies to fight infection, sickness, whatever. As a long time (like over 40 years) abuser of booze I am surprised that after 8 months of being sober how much better I feel. I also was never a worrier about germs,getting sick, drinking tap water, you know stuff like that. My rule for food on the floor was did I want to eat it? Was it still looking good, not dirty looking?
I have met people that would be scared of everything including food in res truants. I just never really cared. I also never needed to take any prescription drugs (though the Dr. did try for blood pressure stuff). I always heard that once you do that, you do that forever. Since mine would vary, I decided not to go that route. What do you know, with no drinking it is fine.
I know people my age (early 60s) that take 5 or 6 meds a day. They lived a hell of a lot healthier than me (of course they have more money but I had much more fun in a year than most did in their lives). I am now poor and sober but still don't know if I would trade my life for theirs. I still have my health I guess and have no problem moving around. Some of them don't move around so good either.
Never really heard about the plastic in the bottled water that much but I guess it makes sense it would be there though I would have thought they would be able to make a bottle that did not shed.
I tend to believe that the "we don't eat enough sh*t"is valid. Overall my tap water comes in under all the stuff they test for and because I am in Michigan we overall have decent drinking water to start with.
Like I said this article reminded me what I read of long ago so I thought I would share.

I had to quit tap water because I got addicted to fluoride. I was drinking it before, during, and after work as well (as weekends!) I'd have a huge drink before a hike and then I'd come home and the first thing I'd do is drink some more and then pass out on the couch in a massive fluoride crash. iat got so bad, I was in the bathroom urinating constantly.
No, I'm on the straight path of bottled water now. Been clean two weeks and I already feel less fluoridey.

Not where we live. There have been at least 3 boil orders for tap water since we have lived here. Once was for Thallium contamination.
I will risk bottled water, thanks.

Depends on where you live. Some places the wayer truly isn't up to standards.

But my tap-water is full of PFAs thanks to being downstream from a big 3M plant... :(

Well what I usually do is buy a case of water once in a while and as I drink it, I just refill the bottles from the tap and reuse them. I'm guessing that's probably worse.
