      Can I drink boiled water overnight? Drink less boiled water overnight, because nitrite can form carcinogenic nitrosamines in the human body. Boil tap water for 3 to 5 minutes. The content of harmful substances such as nitrite and chloride is the lowest, making it most suitable for people to drink.

      Some experts have found that the nitrite content in boiled water is higher than that in raw water. Moreover, if water is repeatedly boiled for too long or for more than 24 hours, the nitrite content will increase significantly. After the boiling water was left for 24 hours, the nitrite content was 1.3 times that of when it was first boiled.

      Chinese residents have the habit of drinking boiled water. It is best to drink it as soon as it is boiled or only drink the boiled water of the day. Do not drink boiled water that has been boiled for too long. 》》》 shock! Vegetable eaters 9Big misunderstanding
