The FDA is useless. They have once again ratified the use of mercury in silver fillings claiming that 34 research studies show there is no significant new information that would change its previous determination that the toxic metal mercury would harm patients. The FDA as protector of the medical establishment simply cannot allow this Pandora’s Box to open. Imagine the class action law suits that would ensue if anyone admitted that mercury, known to be toxic and subject to hazardous waste removal regulations , were deemed dangerous when placed inside someone’s mouth. The FDA apparently ignores all European and WHO studies when making their decisions. If amalgams were proven dangerous and unhealthy the resulting lawsuits would break the dental and insurance industries as American mouths are chock full of mercury. The American Dental Association says that any dentist claiming mercury is hazardous is a quack. To claim that putting one of the most hazardous materials that exists on the planet into one’s mouth is safe flies in the face of all logic.
