I have one of those pitchers that I mainly use to get rid of the chlorine taste in the tap water, but are the actual health claims about drinking filtered water actually true? There are claims that these dinky little passive filters can get rid of things like lead and PFAS which I honestly don’t believe. Especially if you’re using it with tap water which I’d assume would always have some kind of active filtration before it gets to your home, so the idea that whatever got past the industrial grade filter at the water treatment plant can be caught by a little plastic one sounds more than a little fishy to me. Anyone have knowledge about this.
Lucky me, I live in iowa and the farmers are dumping so much shit that the nitrates have been building up in our water supplies. Iowa is second ranked for cancer rates and only state where they are going up.
But don’t you worry about Monsanto and company, the state passed laws to make it difficult to sue those companies and they are cutting down in water testing, so I’m sure it’s going to get so much better. FREEDOM!
