Consumer Reports said on Wednesday it had found "concerning" levels of lead and cadmium in a third of various chocolate products it tested recently, and called on Hershey to reduce the amounts of heavy metals in its chocolate.

      Keep in mind that granular activated carbon doesn’t do a great job removing heavy metals. Block activated carbon is where it’s at or, better yet, reverse osmosis.

        EWG did some testing of various consumer level water filters and published a report that was recently in the news for filtering of PFAS ‘forever chemicals’

        https://www.ewg.org/research/getting-forever-chemicals-out-drinking-water-ewgs-guide-pfas-water-filters

        While there were higher performers I went with the epic filter which has a lower cost over time. I also just use a regular white Brita as a prefilter.

        Of course there’s other options like under sink reverse osmosis filters if you got time and money for all that.
