Did you know that "real" Parmesan cheese (Parmigiano-Reggiano) is made in copper vats?

And copper plumbing is super common for potable water?

And plenty of spirits are distilled in copper stills?

I mean, encouraging handwashing is fine but copper isn't what you need to worry about.

Maybe not. I don't know. I'm not a scientist. I have to err on the side of caution with these things because I don't know.
