Did you know?

  • Mercury is 500 times more toxic than lead.
  • Mercury is the 2nd most toxic natural substance known to man (after plutonium).
  • Mercury amalgam (silver) fillings have about 50% mercury when they are placed in the mouth.
    • The removed amalgam material may have 20 to 30% mercury after being in use for several years. Where did the rest of that mercury go?
  • Mercury is released from amalgam fillings as a poisonous, odorless, tasteless vapor!
  • There is no safe level of mercury exposure!
    • OSHA measures mercury exposure in ppb (parts per billion), while most other substances are measured in ppm (parts per million).
  • Mercury is a neurotoxin that can pass the blood-brain barrier.
  • Amalgam fillings are not used in expectant mothers, and young children. If they are so safe, then why not?
  • The EPA considers pieces of a removed amalgam filling to be toxic waste.
