Misinformation about Water Filtration

The episode critiques common misconceptions about water filtration, particularly claims made in a previous podcast. The discussion highlights the incorrect assertion that reverse osmosis (RO) systems remove 100% of contaminants, which is misleading since the efficacy of these systems largely depends on the quality of the inlet water. Furthermore, the hosts dismiss the idea that RO water introduces more plastic into the body than bottled water, emphasizing the lack of evidence for such claims. The conversation underscores the importance of using scientific data rather than fear-based arguments in assessing the necessity and effectiveness of water filtration methods.
