| Mercury amalgam dental fillings are continuing to provoke
controversy in the scientific fields, with pro-amalgam and
anti-amalgam camps furiously claiming and counter-claiming.
This is a hotly debated issue within the scientific community.
There is a distinct divide separating 'pro' and 'anti' amalgam
writers.
There is also considerable debate on the mercury dental amalgam
issue in other related fields; Multiple Sclerosis, Chronic Fatigue
Syndrome (CFS); Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and Parkinson’s
disease, to name a few.
Of note until indisputable evidence to the contrary
emerged, was the statement of 'fact' so assuredly delivered
by those scientists who refused to countenance any notions that
mercury amalgam could escape the dental amalgam in the first place
to even enter the human body.
This erroneous belief is now known to have been a false
assumption.
It is now clear tiny amounts of Mercury do indeed escape from the
dental amalgam in the form of HgO vapor.
The emissions of mercury vapors from the dental amalgam happens
on a continual basis, although the amount escaping is significantly
increased when chewing, eating, brushing, and drinking hot liquids. |
