You wouldn't drink a sink or drink an apple. And yet you drink water or drink water. Low blocking is exactly the same: if the water of the sink is the same as the water from the apple, then it follows that you have to kick your cat now.
I think that in the case of sinking apples let’s drink the remaining washed fruit juice directly from the sink tap so soak up the hormones like milk for dogs.
Eh I see the logic (and also feel personally attacked lol), but here’s how I justify it: running water doesn’t accumulate the particulates you’re trying to avoid when you drink it in large enough quantities, and you know the apple may have dirt on it that’s carrying other pathogens. So mainly you’re trying to avoid getting listeria or E. coli from the apple by risking a little bit of the water pollutants.
It’s a perverse risk analysis calculus, ideally water and apple both should be clean enough. But we know store bought and “rinsed” produce often causes food poisoning, and drinking large amounts of unfiltered tap water in some places can also make you sick. As mentioned, ideally you’re somewhere where washing the apple makes it relatively cleaner.
