Question from Belinda Brock

I received a thermos type drinking cup purchased at Starbucks with a ceramic insert. Is this healthy? How does it compare to the stainless steel ones?

Debra’s Answer

There is always the chance that any ceramic cup has lead in the glaze. You should test any ceramic item you want to use with LeadCheck swabs. They are sold in the paint department at Home Depot for $5.
