Our systems pretty efficiently handle small quantities of the metals our pipes are made out of. Plastics on the other hand can be much more insidious. Bottled water can be bad too, but I find it hard to believe that it's worse than tap water. When I moved here to Oklahoma City and took a shower in unfiltered water I couldn't stop sneezing. The steam was making the toxins enter my sinuses, and I must not have been used to the specific toxins in this water.

It's better to drink water you filter yourself, but I'll take bottled water of tap water any day.
