Is it common knowledge that hot water and copper pipes shouldn't mix for drinking/cooking?

Never use hot water from the tap for cooking or drinking. Hot water will dissolve copper more quickly than cold water.

In addition, copper pipes in new homes may have a problem with copper working its way into the water that you drink.
