Why is there lead in Mexican glassware?

There are still debates about the risks of eating or drinking in glass containers that contain lead.

Some differences between leaded and unleaded glass:
1. Crystal is more expensive than glass to such an extent that it can even double in price.
2. Lead in crystal cups makes it possible to create thinner pieces than glass, helps maintain the temperature of the wine, preventing it from heating quickly.
3. There is the option of obtaining crystal cups with metal alloys such as titanium and not with lead, which makes them cheaper and even more resistant.
4. Lead glass cups are very delicate because of their thinness which can cause them to break more easily when washed.
Cups made with leaded glass can be a good choice for those whose budget is not very high, but who wish to enjoy a good time tasting a good glass of wine.
