From what I've read, it's only dangerous if you ingest it, food that's just been sitting on it is fine, but if a chip or shard of it get in you it can fuck you up.
So yeah best not to eat off of. It's apparently fine as a decorative piece tho, being near it won't give you cancer.
Nah they cancel out. The radiation, physical shards of glass, the microplastics, cholesterol and bird flu in the food itself are all trying to fit through a door to get me at the same time but they can't get through.
Alpha radiation (the type emitted by super heavy nuclei like uranium, basically just helium nuclei being emitted) has very low penetration depth compared to beta radiation (electrons, positrons, some accompanying photons) because the emitted particle is absorbed by the upper epidermic layers due to the sheer size of the emitted particle. Those layers of skin are shed on a regular basis anyway, so most corruptions end up being entirely irrelevant. However, alpha radiation tends to be highly energised and thus will deal substantial damage to any tissue that cannot simply be discarded, thus is highly dangerous when ingested or inhaled.

From what I've read, it's not good to eat chips or shards of any glass.
Yeah but I doubt the radiation helps

The doctors call it Three Stooges syndrome.

Although uranium glass isn't PARTICULARLY radioactive, it is also a toxic heavy metal regardless
Not that you want any more radioactive decay than usual going on in your bones lol
This is like a consumer identity based around drinking from those leaded Garfield glasses, wild
