Myth: “All bottled water is safe.” Truth: Some brands source from municipal taps, and plastics can leach their own chemicals. Filter your own tap—it’s cheaper and greener.
Myth: “My Brita is fine forever.” Nope: Overused carbon filters can release captured PFAS back into your water. Replace on schedule, like you would your toothbrush.
Cultural reference: Think of PFAS like the drama in your favorite reality show—they keep coming back unless you actively cut them off. Your filter is your remote control.
