What to look for when shopping for mugs and bowls

When shopping for mugs, it is common to find ceramic mugs, china, glass mugs and mugs of stainless steel or mixed materials. What is a good choice? I don’t know about you but lead free coffee mugs would rank at the top of my priority list. Cups for hot drinks like morning coffee or tea, and which are microwave safe, as well as suitable for cold drinks such as lemonade. Did you know that so many of the popular mugs sold are made of toxic materials, including lead?

The toxins lurking in conventional mugs and bowls

Many may be marked lead safe and have a lesser amount of lead. But…no amount of lead is good for anyone when you ingest it with what you eat or drink. Research has proven the detrimental harm of this toxin to humans. Those marked lead safe are not non toxic!

Lead poisoning can occur when a hot liquid or food comes in contact with the material of a vessel. Lead leaches into whatever is inside and contaminates it. We can imagine the havoc such foods can cause in the internal organs and their functioning. And lead is just one such toxin.

All metals are reactive and leach in a similar fashion – some more than the others, slowly accumulating toxins in your body, compromising the immune system and forming the foundation for chronic illnesses. This is why, mugs and bowls made from any metal or chemical laden ceramic including the ones glazed with any chemical-based material must be a BIG NO! This includes the popular stainless steel mugs, ceramic coffee and tea cups, tempered glass or borosilicate glass mugs (may contain chemicals like boron, petalite, lead and cadmium) and any other glossy looking mugs (high lead content). Then what is the alternative?
