Look, we can’t avoid every single molecule in modern life. Our tap water still beats drinking from a puddle (probably). But knocking out trihalomethanes is a low-effort win for long-term peace of mind. Get a carbon filter, let your water breathe, and maybe hug your showerhead upgrade.
And next time a friend warns you about “chemical soup,” you can smile, sip your filtered water, and say, “I’ve got it covered.” Just don’t tell them you also ate three bags of chips that had ingredients you can’t pronounce. We all pick our battles.
