I'm surprised the article makes no mention of lead.
>> Aged vinegars, favored by gourmets and sometimes costing $100 a bottle, contain more lead than the quicker brewed, less expensive kinds. For three imported varieties tested in 2002, people who eat one tablespoon per day would be exposed to seven to 10 times the maximum daily level of lead set by California.

Artisanal production is very interesting and can be great, but not always.
- lisper 2y agoA tablespoon of traditional balsamic is a huge portion. The stuff is typically served with an eyedropper.
- moralestapia 2y agoA couple tablespoons and equal parts olive oil is what I get on top of my salads everywhere I go. So, no.
- jochem9 2y agoYou eat something that goes for 1250 per liter by the tablespoon?
- moralestapia 2y agoYeah, I can afford $18 dollars. I must be the 0.1%.
- lisper 2y agoVery unlikely that the stuff you get by the tablespoon is what is being referred to here.
