Are you worried about what’s in your tap water? It’s been our radar for some time, but it’s something we’ve never had time to dig into it. But a study that came out this summer made us realize we had to give it a deeper look. Approximately half of America’s tap water contains PFAS, also known as “forever chemicals” that can up your risk of cancer and disrupts hormones. There are other contaminants in our water, too, so what can you do at home to limit our exposure? What filters really work?
