Claim Breakdown:
📝 Fact Check: While it is technically true that stainless steel can leach trace amounts of nickel and chromium into acidic foods, clinical studies show this primarily happens during prolonged cooking (boiling for hours) or storing juice for multiple days. A quick sip of fresh lemon water from a bottle will not result in a toxic 'micro metal release' with every sip. 🛑
