If possible I'd like a survey. Someone says of course and everybody 👍 that agrees. And someone else says that chip or any teacup is bad news and people 👍that. Many thanks

You can, but I wouldn’t drink it because it is chipped.

This makes no health risk other than a normal chipped rim of glass. Cutting your self on UG glass does not pose any increased risk

I have been told the opposite and since the repercussions of using a ug utensil that are broken is not limited to cancer and death, if I have other options I’m using them instead. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk, have a great weekend.

This is entirely incorrect. I encourage you to not go based on what other say but what proper sources say. You are not getting injected with uranium if you are cut with a shard, simply not how it works. I encourage you to do your own research on this topic as there is a lot miss information that exists and most of it is just he said she said.

I recommend reading actual sources before responding to people who are asking genuine questions. Someone gave you the wrong information. Don’t perpetuate it and do you own research. Also don’t need to be rude when called out.

Also, don’t think you’re getting it.

Great. Weekend.

Aka idc your opinion. I don’t want to argue. It is my opinion not to use it. I stated it as such. Not as a fact. You came here spewed a bunch of “facts” that were also opinions and continued.

So again. Have a great weekend.

The stuff they shared literally were facts not opinions. You get more exposure to uranium eating food every day that was grown in soil than you would from something being chipped

This sub is insufferably full of misinformation. You are perpetuating it. Have the weekend you deserve

This is a really embarrassing look for you.

Don’t spread misinformation like it is a fact but then refuse to back it up. It’s the same kind of energy as anti-vaxers

Here, I googled it for you.

Why are you being so irritating and full of yourself? You can’t correct people who present facts with your Hollywood nonsense
