From 2016 to 2020, I suffered from heavy metal toxicity, thought to be caused by contaminated water. I had little energy, poor focus, and troubled breathing. While recovering, my doctor advised that I only drink from glass bottles to avoid any further exposure, and I complied, even though I hated the wastefulness of this type of consumption. However, for the many people who live in cities with lead pipes or poor filtering of municipal water, this is an unceasing and unavoidable part of life.
