Hot water dissolves lead more quickly than cold water and is therefore more likely to contain greater amounts of lead. Never use water from the hot water tap for drinking, cooking, or making baby formula.

    For countries without lead issues, it is still a bad idea as hot water tanks can be hosts to a bunch of shit you definitely don’t want to ingest.
