Part 7/9:
Be cautious with reverse osmosis water: It's mineral-deficient and should be re-mineralized for optimal absorption and taste.
Avoid refrigerator filters unless certified for heavy metals and PFAS removal, as internal tubing can introduce plastics and impurities.
Use resources like EWG Tap Water Database to check local contaminants and PFAS levels in your area.
