Default Metalic Taste in Your Mouth

I'm curious if anyone else is suffering from this? I mentioned it to my doctor today during a physical and he initially looked fearful (?????), then shocked when I discussed what I had narrowed it down to (medication I'm taking or our local water).

After pressing him, he admitted that the local water treatment plant has been increasing the amount of chloramine as a disinfectant and many of his patients have been mentioning this side effect.

I normally drink bottled water and have a filtration system on my tap (which it seems is now outdated), but this chemical is also used in many bottled waters.

I have included a link with basic information but would be very interested to know if any members have more information or have experienced this side effect with their local water supplies.
