What are the dangers of drinking water or making tea from a sterling silver cup

As we all know, the human body needs to replenish a certain amount of water every day. However, choosing a container for drinking water is also very important. There are many choices available to users on the market, such as glass cups, ceramic cups, plastic cups, etc. Some developers suddenly came up with the idea that gold and silver cups were used to make containers in ancient times, so there are also expensive silver water cups in our lives. Moreover, silver has many benefits, which satisfies the preferences of some users, who buy it to drink water and make tea. So let's talk about whether drinking water or making tea from a silver cup is harmful to the human body.

Silver and gold are both inert metals and do not easily react chemically with common liquids such as boiling water, so it is fine to use them as drinking cups. However, if this cup is used to hold metal salts that are more inert than it, the silver can be dissolved and enter the human body to cause heavy metal poisoning. So if you don't have the habit of drinking more inert metal salts than this, you'll be fine.

The silver ions in the water cup have a strong bactericidal effect and are very beneficial to the human body. It not only has economic value, but can also be used as a tool for testing poison. The ancients said: Wearing silver will bring you health and wealth. This is not only because it is a precious metal, but also because it is more effective than gold in improving human health. Silver can be used to detect whether food is poisonous, because silver can react chemically with many toxins, turning the silver black and making it easy to identify with the naked eye. As early as BC, the ancients knew that silver could accelerate wound healing, prevent and treat infection, purify water, and preserve food. It can prevent the growth of bacteria, soothe the five internal organs, calm the mind, stop panic, and eliminate evil spirits. Silver has excellent antibiotic and sterilization effects. General antibiotics can only work on 6 types of bacteria, but silver can kill 650 types of bacteria. Silver has the best thermal conductivity among all metals and can quickly dissipate heat from blood vessels. It has excellent therapeutic effects on preventing various diseases. Silver has the ability to absorb poison, which is one of the reasons for the discoloration.

Drinking tea from a silver cup is harmless to the body. Silver ions can promote detoxification and health preservation, activate cells, accelerate metabolism, and enhance resistance to disease. Therefore, long-term use of silver utensils for eating has the health-promoting effect of prolonging health. Silver has a bactericidal effect and can kill and absorb harmful substances and bacteria in water.

Of course, silver cups can also be used to make tea, because silver has health benefits: silver has a bactericidal effect, and when using a silver cup, food is not easy to ferment and become sour; silver compounds can treat burns and bandage wounds; silver chopsticks can detect sulfur-containing poisons in food. In addition, when using silver cups to make tea, you need to pay attention to the following situations: halogens such as aqua regia, bromine water, hydrochloric acid and oxidants (chlorates, nitrates, permanganates, manganese dioxide, chromates, nitrites) must not be handled in the silver cups. Ferric chloride has a significant corrosive effect on silver, so it must not come into contact with ferric chloride.
