The pros and cons of drinking water from a silver cup

Water is a very important substance in our lives. We need to drink more water because the human body needs to consume a large amount of water in a certain period of time. Everyone should also understand that drinking more water can prevent many diseases, but you should also pay attention to the use of drinking cups. Silver water cups have many quality issues, so some people may be more adaptable to them, but others may have allergies or other reactions. So what are the pros and cons of drinking water from a silver cup?

1. First, let’s figure out what the silver cup is.

The inner liner of the real pure silver health cup is made of 99 or 999 silver through more than a dozen processes.

The material is PC, also called aviation glass. This material is harmless to the human body. The inner liner is made of high-purity silver, which is harmless to the body. Silver has the function of sterilization, disinfection and purification of water quality! Therefore, a real silver cup is harmless to the body.

And the silver ion cup. The silver ion cup liner is not stretched sterling silver. Instead, it is electroplated with the stainless steel that is the material of the thermos cup we use. What is electroplating?

Electroplating is an electrochemical process and also a redox process. The basic process of electroplating is to immerse the parts in a solution of metal salt as the cathode and the metal plate as the anode. After connecting to a DC power supply, the desired coating is deposited on the parts. The silver ion cup uses the principle of electrolysis to plate a thin layer of silver on the surface of stainless steel, thereby preventing the oxidation of the stainless steel (such as rust), improving wear resistance, conductivity, reflectivity, corrosion resistance (copper sulfate, etc.), and also enhancing the aesthetics! The outer layer of many coins is also electroplated. In a sense, the silver ion cup we are talking about should be called a silver-plated cup, not a pure silver cup. The cost of silver-plated cups is relatively cheap. The price varies according to the thickness of the coating and the time.

So is the silver-plated cup harmful to the human body?

The brand new silver-plated cup is also harmless to the body! It has the same effect as the pure silver craft cup and can purify water. However, when the cup starts to peel off or rust, do not use it anymore as it may harm your body. If you use a silver ion cup to drink water, it is best not to brew tea leaves. Tea leaves will leave tea stains on the cup over a long period of time, which cannot be cleaned off with toothpaste or soda water. It is easy to damage the top layer of pure silver protective layer of the silver ion cup, thus affecting the life of the cup. When choosing a silver cup, you must not go for cheapness and ignore your health!

2. Is a real sterling silver cup harmful?

The World Health Organization stipulates that the silver ion content of drinking water is less than or equal to 0.05ml/L, and the silver ion released by a 999 pure silver water cup is 0.017ml/L. Therefore, pure silver water cups are relatively safe! They will not cause metal poisoning!

3. Benefits of drinking water from a sterling silver cup

Silver ions are good for the human body. Not only can they detoxify and beautify the skin, but they can also activate the body's cells, speed up our body's metabolism, and fight against diseases. Long-term use of pure silver cups and drinking more can also promote our health and prolong our life.

Reminder: It is safer to drink water from a silver cup, but excessive silver ions in the human body can cause skin ulcers. And silver cups cannot hold liquids with strong acidity or alkalinity!
