No, you safer using cold water for drinking and cooking.

Hot water contains more lead because the water sits around more and
lead enters hot water faster.

Besides, why would you risk burns with hot water when cold is right
there?


Er, you have missed a couple of things. The water from the hot water
tap is not so hot as to burn.

The cold water tap, as I said, is from a tank.

A wooden tank.

And for the hot water, it is never a good idea to get used to using it to
brush teeth. You don't want to get in the habit of using hot water to brush
teeth, because other places (.e.g, a friend's house) might have hotter hot
water.
