Supposedly eco-friendly cups are still coated with a thin layer of plastic, which scientists have discovered can leach chemicals that harm living creatures.
Lead pipes are fine for water unless some cheapo decides to change the water composition in a way that removes the thin layer that forms on the lead and keeps it from leeching into the water. We still have a ton of lead pipes not giving lead poisoning today.

Plastics are like the ruined pipes.
Human error is inevitable and we should design systems to be invulnerable to this. Just dont use lead. Period.
PVC, steel, and all of the other options also have the possibility of poisoning is in certain situations when not maintained properly.
Don’t build anything, got it.
