▲ 155 ▼ TIL why you're not supposed to cook or drink hot tap water - it's the lead (and other heavy metals) (www.epa.gov) submitted 1 year ago by pelespirit@sh.itjust.works to c/til@lemmy.ca 81 comments fedilink hide all child comments Hot water dissolves lead more quickly than cold water and is therefore more likely to contain greater amounts of lead. Never use water from the hot water tap for drinking, cooking, or making baby formula.
