Speaking of cups, there are all kinds of strange shapes and materials, such as plastic, glass and ceramic. Which cup is the safest and healthiest? Today, I’ll listen to Xiaobian and make a good comparison.
glass: glass is the healthiest. It does not contain harmful heavy metals and organic chemicals. You don’t have to worry about the release of harmful substances when holding various drinks. Moreover, the transparent material is easy to clean and is not easy to hide dirt.
enamel cup: enamel is resistant to high temperature and corrosion. The metal substances contained therein are relatively stable, but they may dissolve out in acidic environments. Therefore, it is better not to use enamel cup to hold acidic drinks for a long time. In addition, the enamel cup is easy to be damaged and release harmful substances after bumping, which should be eliminated decisively.
ceramic cup: the more “plain” ceramic cup is, the safer it is. Because of the high content of heavy metals such as lead and chromium in the pigment, these harmful substances are easy to dissolve out when boiling water or drinks with high acid and alkalinity are placed. When shopping, you can touch the surface of the pattern. If it is smooth, it is safer; If it is uneven, it will fall off when you pick it with your nails, so you’d better not buy it.
stainless steel cups: stainless steel cups are alloy products. Improper use will release the heavy metals contained therein, which is harmful to health. Therefore, in daily use, do not use stainless steel cups to hold acidic drinks, such as juice, coffee, carbonated drinks, etc.
