Buh-aye-bee's Orange Juice reacting with...
Hi Kelly,
Likely, at least to my understanding, few materials be
unqualifiedly 'Okay' for a baby's 'Orange Juice
Cup'...except Gold maybe...'Styrofoam' I suppose...Waxed
Paper...Wax...some Glass possibly. Things as must remain
unaffected by various Acids and Moisture...
Or, the 'Okayness' falls off in a ratio, with how long the
Juice is 'in' the Cup...and maybe too at what temperarture,
for materials other than these, those...
If the Juice is only in the Cup a few minutes, almost any
(common) thing is 'Okay', or Okay enough...
Duration (and to some degree, temperature) of Chemical
opportunities, for the material and the Juice to negotiate
matters...is an important consideration...
