Concerns over pullout faucet hoses

Does anyone have concern over material in pullout/down kitchen faucets? I was dismayed to see nylon in so many, and thought braided metal like I currently have would be the answer, but then looking into what is inside those braided metal hoses has left me just as concerned....I don't buy water in plastic bottles, we eat organic food whenever possible, but I don't hear anything about what the heck one's water may be in contact with given the chemical compounds in the linings. My well water has tested really pure....do I need to forego having a pull-down in my new place, and just have a standard hi-arc? Obviously the supply lines could not be connected with braided lines either....?????????????? Anyone install a plain hi arc? Might add I rarely have used the current house's pull-out hose.
