What happens if you drink water with scale?

Scale is very harmful to the human body. Many people think that scale only affects the appearance. Once the boiled water settles, the scale will not affect the taste. The scale in the thermos cannot be seen anyway and will not have any effect. In fact, this is a self-deceptive idea.

Scale is the sediment of heavy metals, calcium salts, dust, bacteria, insect eggs and dead bodies mixed in water. It is not only unhygienic, but also seriously affects human health. According to chemical analysis, there are a large number of heavy metals in scale. Facts have also proved that scale not only causes various stone diseases, but also causes lesions in the digestive, nervous, urinary, hematopoietic, circulatory and other systems and causes aging. Long-term intake can cause heavy metal poisoning in the human body, and many heavy metals can cause cancer in human organs.

Scale affects human health. Tartar and periodontitis are often caused by scale and can be fatal. Legionnaires' disease, for which there is still no vaccine, hides in scale and kills 2,000 to 3,000 people in France every year. Scale contains more hidden dangers. Washing your face or taking a bath with water containing scale will form calcium-magnesium soap, which is sticky like colloid and sticks to your face and skin, making it difficult to remove dirt. If dirt is not washed away, it will clog the openings of the skin glands, forming embolism, affecting normal metabolism and causing the skin to shrink and age prematurely.
