Note from Ilena Rosenthal: Vaccinations, mercury fillings, breast
implants, fluoride etc. have been proclaimed to be 'safe' and the
mutual issues of a huge public relations (propaganda) campaign under
the umbrella of 'junk science' or the old timer's word, 'quackery.'

More and more and more ... the cover-ups are being uncovered and the
truth of the dangers ... long denied ... verified again.

The FDA (after years of denial) backed by junkscience and quackwatch
and NCAHF etc ... have been forced to admit:

"Dental amalgams contain mercury, which may have neurotoxic effects on
the nervous systems of developing children and foetuses."

Bravo to all the amalgam awareness activists, Ms Jan Drew, long a
target of the Snake-oil PR team, most of all.

They're in millions of mouths worldwide, but have been linked to heart
disease and Alzheimer's. Now a report concedes they may have a toxic
effect on the body

Amalgam dental fillings – which contain the highly toxic metal mercury
– pose a health risk, the world's top medical regulatory agency has
conceded.

After years of insisting the fillings are safe, the US government's
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a health warning about
them. It represents a landmark victory for campaigners, who say the
fillings are responsible for a range of ailments, including heart
conditions and Alzheimer's disease.

Earlier this month, in an unprecedented U-turn, the FDA dropped much
of its reassuring language on the fillings from its website,
substituting: "Dental amalgams contain mercury, which may have
neurotoxic effects on the nervous systems of developing children and
foetuses." It adds that when amalgam fillings are "placed in teeth or
removed they release mercury vapour", and that the same thing happens
when chewing. Full article here.
