Pouring acidic substances like lemon juice, tomato juice, buttermilk, curd, honey, or fruit juices into a copper vessel causes them to react with the copper and turn into poison, leading to ailments such as diarrhea, vomiting, and stomach ache.
Continuously using copper vessels without a break or proper cleaning allows a green coating to form on the inside. Drinking this improperly cleaned water or consuming copper water all day long can increase copper levels in the body, potentially causing liver and intestinal damage.
