This Juicer Is Lit

I just found out this old juicer from my childhood contains uranium. What?? When I was a kid I thought of it as a pretty basic kitchen item. I brought it back to KC with me after cleaning out my parents' house, more seeing it as a relic from the past than something I would use. 

But I got it out the other day to juice an orange and was impressed by how quick and easy it pulverized those orange wedges with just a few twists on its pointy glass dome. Hey, I thought, this is pretty neat. A splash of lime here, a squirt of lemon there.....this could be a real game changer for my cocktails, er, I mean, my veggies and salads.  And the thing is a breeze to clean. 

My new appreciation for this family relic led me online where  I discovered that it's a vintage 1930's juicer and it's made of uranium glass. Because why not put a potentially lethal chemical element into a household appliance? Such was the thinking of the time. Apparently UG was all the rage in the late 19th and early 20th century because it has a green color that nearly glows. (And why do you think that is?!)  It fell out of use during WWII when uranium was needed for ---nuclear bombs.  But actually uranium glass goes back to at least 79 AD.

I'm guessing the juicer I have goes back to my grandmother. But is it safe to use? Some folks on Reddit say it should only be used a display piece. Wiki sez the radiation can register on a Geiger counter, but most uranium glass is only "negligibly radioactive." Well then. Being one who grew up with all sorts of sketchy old Depression-era things and ate out of them, I'll take my chances.
