Hydroxyl radicals effects on human body from drinking KDF copper/zinc filtered water
There are many water filters that use KDF in place of, or in conjunction with, granular activated carbon filters to produce drinking or shower water by removing heavy metals and chlorine from it. It is also known that the copper/zinc water filtration generates hydroxyl radicals that form during the process. Hydroxyl radicals are being described as very harmful to a human body:

The uncontrolled action of hydroxyl radicals the most damaging free
radical by far can have devastating effects within the body. ... It
reacts at diffusion rates with virtually any molecule found in its
path including macromolecules such as DNA, membrane lipids, proteins,
and carbohydrates.

So is there a significant harm of using that kind of water filters for every day water consumption?
