This is a subtitle
I bought this after hours of searching high & low! Trying to find a kettle that is truly free from plastic touching the water is near impossible! (The internet can be a labyrinth of just too much information, don't you think? I end up link-hopping forever and ever without much result nor satisfaction… Anyone with me on that trap???)
When I was diagnosed with breast cancer (of which I am now fully-recovered btw), as anybody in my shoes would, I looked deep in to where I can improve my lifestyle.
And going plastic-free was one of them. Especially with plastics that would touch my food and drink, incase the plastic leaches on to it.
Looking around the kitchen, the plastic kettle was an obvious candidate to say bye-bye to (as well as plastic tupperware). Because, coming to think of it, it was plain to see that it can cause harm - the kettle’s plastic casing would get heated to boiling temperature again and again! This must not be good, plus, the hot water I leave behind would sit in the plastic until next time I consume! Yikes...!
Yes-yes, I know that there are BPA-free plastic kettle nowadays. But…, (you can call me a mistrustful downer as much as you like!) but, I don’t think they are good enough. You have to think to yourself; so, what other material do the manufactures use to replace BPA then? BPS and BPF? It’s said that the research on the effects of these on health is still at it’s early stage. Hm…, reason to be wary? Speaking from my personal experience, I think so. Best to err on the side of caution, guys, health is way important than stinging on a couple of bucks more to buy a decent plastic-free kettle.
So, here’s how my kettle is looking after a year and a half!
