not another worry! I would write them all down but I can't find a big enough note book.

I have been looking for substitutes. A company from Switzerland makes some nice aluminum ones with a neutral liner, but they are pricey.

I don't think this is of any real concern. The quantity we would have to ingest to do harm would probably have to be significant. Besides, we should probably worry more about the NJ air quality before we worry about this.
