Are Your Copper Mugs Poisoning You?
By Alexandria McIntire
 

Aug. 8, 2017 -- It may be time to put away those trendy copper mugs -- what you put in them could lead to copper poisoning.

The State of Iowa Alcoholic Beverages Division released an advisory in July as a reminder of federal guidelines for foods that come in contact with copper and copper alloys. The release was a response to the growing popularity of an alcoholic drink called the Moscow Mule, usually served in a copper mug.

That's why copper cookware was tin plated. Nowdays, lined with stainless.
