      Probably implicate correlation between consumption of those syrups* cooked in lead pots with the disease that we know today as Saturnism or lead poisoning. Like, the Romans themselves already noticed that lead cookware wasn’t exactly healthy.

      * callled defrutum, caroenum or sapa depending on concentration. Rather tasty, even without the lead; just cook some young wine to 1/3 of its original volume. I often use it over desserts.

        Every time you cook in cooking ware coated with teflon you do indeed ingest some teflon, regardless of whether you use plastic cooking utensils or not.

        Not on purpose, but yes we eat a lot more than is okay. Turns out that it’s not actually as safe to cook on as we thought
