Are gold plated coffee filters bad for you?

Question

I have heard that they are not good for you, and can cause cancer.

Answer 1

I guess you can hear all kinds of weird things on the net...

No, the SWISS GOLD filters are not going to cause cancer. As a matter of FACT there are high dollar restaurants that are preparing and selling foods prepared with pure gold in the recipes.

It would be my opinion that the gold ain't gonna hurt you.

I use the SWISS GOLD myself as it allows the coffee oils to get to my cup instead of being absorbed by the cheap paper filters. Not much sense in paying for really good coffee and have the essential oils tossed in the trash. I might as well buy Folgers if I were to do that.

Answer 2

Haven't heard of that.  Seems I cannot find anything that says they are bad.  If you want to order one check out this site:
