Dear doctor, this may seem like an odd question but it is a medical one. is there any evidence of risk to health by drinking from lead crystal, especially liquid that has been stored for a long period of time in lead crystal?

: If you are drinking beverages out of a container made with less, then you may be unintentionally ingesting a small amount of lead which will lead to lead toxicity. So I would stop this practice as soon as possible and consider getting lead testing (blood test) at your PCP’s office.
