What should I do with my Lead-contaminated dishes? To toss or not to toss?

#AskTamara: Which mugs are Lead-free? How can I tell if my mug has unsafe levels of Lead? Which mugs do you use?

I will not eat mussels again. These shells were positive for 14,000 ppb Cadmium. Food is toxic at levels below 100 ppb.

#AskTamara: I know shellfish can have high Lead (as a food), but do scallop *shells* have an unsafe level of Lead? Are they safe for kids?

#AskTamara: Do sea shells have Lead? Are they safe for my kids to play with? [Spoilers: This one is Lead-free!]

#AskTamara: Do sea shells have unsafe levels of heavy metals? Are they safe for my kids to play with?
