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.

I was like: I'm going to drink hot water whether you like it or not! Took a while for my brain to process "hot tap water".
