Danger of heating water repeatedly
Hi steemians..
Boiling water to sterilize germs and harmful bacteria is a recommended health. However, reheating the water that has previously reached the boiling point, will produce some toxic substances. This only applies if you use ground water directly.
Groundwater contains minerals, natural gas, and chemicals that will change its composition and properties in the boiling process to boiling. If boiled again, it will happen again the form changes substances called toxic.
But this does not apply anymore if you boil more distilled water or water with the deionization process. This water is safer if you want to boil back. Distilled water does not produce toxic substances, such as nitrate, arsenine and fluoride produced by repeatedly boiled ground water.
Nitrates that are heated many times will turn into nitrosamine, and are carcinogenic or trigger cancer. Some studies link nitrosamine with blood cancer or leukemia, as well as lymphomas and some other cancers.
For arsenic, it is known to include toxins that in small amounts will trigger cancer, heart disease, infertility and neurological problems. Kidney problems are also feared will arise, coupled with the risk of gallstone disease.
While fluoride substances are believed to damage the growth of neural and cognitive development. To prevent these dangerous risks, you should boil water only once.
Keep healthy steemians...
