I was lucky enough to buy a house with all copper... something I wasn't even thinking of or aware of at the time. It's good you replaced. As bad as plastic is, it's still better than constant exposure to rust etc.
My next house will be all copper also, non-negotiable.

Microplastics and nanoplastics come from plastic pipes. This plastic causes inflammation that cause biological issues. Nanoplastics which can cross the blood-brain barrier. These particles can trigger and cause all sorts of issues over time.
I'll avoid plastics like Pex, pvc, etc.

@Neoerectus nearly everything you purchase contains some form of plastic including the containers you eat\drink from

@lpthehermit NOT if you are observant and avoid it. Esp fluid/food containers.
Fortunately, my house has copper (built in 80's). I replace with copper or brass in the drinking related pipes when needed - eg a long deep freeze busted pipe on an outside wall (ran pipe deeper inside and installed a cutoff inside to keep water from that faucet in winter).
Nano/micro plastics are being seen as a major cause of inflammations throughout the body, so we need better materials.
Reverse osmosis for cooking and drinking can remove much of it.
