Filtrer l'eau du robinet et privilégier des contenants sains pour limiter l'exposition

what it claims

Avoid plastic bottles to limit the ingestion of microplastics, and filter tap water to remove fluoride.

mixed

Regarding plastic bottles, this advice is based on well-established exposure data.

Regarding plastic bottles, this advice is based on well-established exposure data. A comprehensive 2025 literature review published in the Journal of Hazardous Materials confirms that consumers of bottled water ingest approximately 90,000 more microplastic particles per year than those who drink tap water. While the precise impact of these particles on bodily equilibrium is still under investigation, limiting this exposure remains a validated precautionary measure. Conversely, the necessity of filtering fluoride is largely overstated based on current science. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) re-evaluated the subject in 2025 and concluded that fluoride concentrations in drinking water pose no risk to the well-being of the general population. Finally, the U.S. National Toxicology Program (NTP) emphasizes that there is no solid evidence of adverse effects at the low doses typically recommended in tap water.
