Contrary to popular belief, boiled water is not healthier than raw water.
We explain why it is better to drink cold water from the tap than from a kettle.
Why is boiled water worse than raw water?
When boiling, pathogenic organisms die, but heavy metal salts do not disappear.
Moreover, when chlorinated water is boiled, toxic chlorine compounds are formed, which are no less harmful to health than pathogens.
Boiling also deprives water of vitamins, minerals and oxygen, and after cooling, boiled water turns into a favorable environment for the growth of bacteria.
It should be noted that not all raw water is better than boiled. For example, water from a well or borehole needs to be boiled.
