Like to bring non-alcoholic drinks on the go? Here is a health tip for you. Invest in a quality thermos since cheap, poor-quality ones may contain high levels of heavy metals like nickel, manganese, and cadmium that can leach into the liquid when exposed to hot water or acids. This could lead to adverse effects on the liver, kidneys, nervous system, and potentially even be life-threatening. Be sure to select quality material that has anti-corrosion properties and are safe for food such as a lining made of stainless steel 304 (SUS304) or stainless steel 316 (SUS316). Types of liquid that should not be kept in a thermos for an extended period include tea, carbonated water, Chinese medicine, and acidic drinks like lemon or vinegar water because these can easily react with the tank lining, which could result in damage, deterioration, or the production of toxic substances.
