Non toxic electric tea kettles with no plastic touching

Why is it so important to use electric tea kettles with no plastic touching the interior water even if it’s BPA free?

BPA and the safer BPA free plastic alternatives leach chemicals 55x faster in boiling water conditions compared to room temperature. They just break down faster at such high temperatures. This includes any plastic that is on the underside of the interior lid. Most electric tea kettle models have plastic on underside of the lids, which would still be a problem since condensation builds on the top of the interior kettle and then drip back down into the drinking water, contaminating it.

The US FDA has made regulations on ceramics made in the USA prohibiting unsafe levels of lead. However, since most ceramic electric tea kettles are manufactured in China, there is a loop hole where they can be produced in factories and with products that contain unsafe levels of lead that can leach out into water under high boiling temperatures. It’s best to avoid ceramic electric tea kettles as they are not non-toxic.
