Are the bowls, chopsticks, spoons, plates, and pots in your home "healthy"? Perhaps you are unaware that beautiful tableware can easily become an invisible "killer" to your health. Let us uncover the hidden dangers behind this beautiful tableware.

Ceramics: Say no to interior wall color painting; soak new tableware in vinegar.

Health Threat: The color painting on the inner walls of ceramic tableware may be bright in color, but the enamel contains heavy metal elements such as lead, mercury, and cadmium. Among them, cadmium and lead can easily cause poisoning of the liver or other internal organs, while mercury can cause liver and kidney hardening. The more enamel on ceramics, the brighter the color, the more compounds of lead and cadmium it contains.
