Drinking water from an electric kettle for a long time

Can it really cause cancer?

Rumor:

Stainless steel electric kettles and stainless steel kettles are all made of stainless steel and contain manganese, which can precipitate during the boiling process. Drinking the water boiled from these kettles for a long time may lead to excessive levels of manganese in the body, which can damage nerves and even cause cancer! Is this true?

This statement is not scientific. Although the material used for making stainless steel electric kettles contains manganese, it does not exist as a separate element, making it difficult to dissolve in daily boiling water.

Even if it is boiled repeatedly for more than 1000 hours, manganese can indeed precipitate, but the amount of manganese entering the water in the form of ions is almost extremely small, with negligible effects on the human body and no risk of disease. However, the prerequisite is to purchase a legitimate product that meets national standards.

How to choose a suitable electric kettle for oneself?

The electric kettles on the market are mainly made of stainless steel, glass, ceramics, and other materials. You can purchase them according to the following standards according to your own needs.

1. Stainless steel electric kettle:

Food grade stainless steel includes 304 stainless steel, 316 stainless steel, etc. When purchasing a stainless steel electric kettle, it is best to choose one with this label or words, or to purchase a stainless steel electric kettle with the "Executive Standard GB9684-2011" or "Food Contact" label and words.

2. Glass electric kettle:

You should choose to purchase an electric kettle made of high borosilicate glass. Its performance is relatively stable, the material is relatively safe, and it is not easy to generate scale.

3. Ceramic electric kettle:

If the inner wall of a ceramic electric kettle is colored, toxic elements such as heavy metals may precipitate during the boiling process. It is recommended to choose a ceramic electric kettle with no color or pattern on the inner wall.

Stainless steel electric kettles, glass electric kettles, and ceramic electric kettles, as long as they are qualified products purchased through legitimate channels, do not worry too much about the safety of their products. You can compare the size, price, and material according to personal and family needs before purchasing according to your needs.

What should I do if there is scale in an electric kettle?

White vinegar cleverly removes scale

1. Pour an appropriate amount of white vinegar into the electric kettle, then heat and boil until the scale dissolves and disappears;

2. Pour out the water, brush it, and the electric kettle will become clean.

What we really need to drink less is these three types of water

1. Extremely hot water:

Frequent consumption of extremely hot food and drinks can pose health risks.

2. Raw water:

Raw water that has not been boiled or effectively treated may contain harmful factors to human health such as bacteria and various microorganisms, which can pose a potential threat to health and easily lead to acute gastroenteritis and some infectious diseases.

3. Water in the Water dispenser that has not been cleaned for a long time:

Most Water dispenser use barreled water, which is safe and hygienic as long as the quality is qualified.

More important than water is the Water dispenser itself. This is because Water dispenser may breed bacteria during use. If it is not cleaned for a long time, there is a safety risk. It is recommended to clean the Water dispenser every 1-2 months.
