What are the health effects of drinking water from an electric kettle every day
FemaleIn modern society, many families have electric kettles that are used almost every day. Pour water into the electric kettle, gently turn on the switch, and in a short while, you can have a sip of hot water, which is really convenient. However, there are rumors that many stainless steel electric kettles on the market are made of high manganese steel materials. During the heating process, manganese will precipitate out. Long term use can cause harm to the body and even lead to a decline in memory. Let's explore what the situation is like.
What is the impact of drinking water from an electric kettle every day on health?
The statement that drinking water from an electric kettle can cause harm to the body should be treated differently. If the purchased electric kettle is a qualified product produced by a legitimate manufacturer and the drinking water is safe, then drinking the water boiled by the kettle will definitely not cause harm to the body; But if the purchased electric kettle itself is a counterfeit product produced by a small workshop, or if the drinking water itself has safety hazards, then there is no doubt that drinking the water boiled by the electric kettle can cause harm to the body is valid.
According to national regulations, stainless steel materials used for cooking utensils should comply with relevant national standards and use qualified materials. National standards have clear regulations for different steels, and the main materials of stainless steel products should comply with national standards. No matter what type of stainless steel label is used, there are strict restrictions on any food container. Stainless steel products that comply with relevant national standards in China will not cause harm to health due to manganese migration levels.
Secondly, experts have pointed out that manganese, as an important metal element, is applied to the processing of various alloy products. Stainless steel, as an iron-based alloy, has actually penetrated into the lattice of elements such as iron and chromium during processing. For the working environment of electric kettles, manganese is difficult to escape, causing manganese precipitation.
FemaleIn addition, experts point out that most patients with manganese poisoning seen in clinical practice are caused by respiratory system factors, mainly occupational factors. Manganese poisoning caused by dietary factors is very rare. Moreover, the absorption rate of manganese by the human digestive system is only 1% to 5%, and most of the manganese that enters the gastrointestinal tract through diet is excreted from the body with feces. Therefore, the rumor that manganese precipitation in electric kettles can harm health is unfounded.
FemaleIn summary, as long as the electric kettle is qualified and the drinking water is safe, there is no need to consider the claim that drinking the water boiled by the kettle can cause harm to the body, nor is there any need to worry about the daily use of stainless steel electric kettles causing manganese poisoning. The editor reminds everyone that it is best to choose products produced by reputable manufacturers (such as 304 stainless steel electric kettles) and regularly clean the scale in the kettles.
