Well, it's true -- mercury in an amalgam (normally with silver & tin) doesn't leach out. Most of the heavy metals that are dangerous by themselves can by alloyed or chelated to make them biologically safe.
- jodrellblank 18y agoThis video from the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology - http://iaomt.org/videos/ http://iaomt.org/videos/ - shows mercury vapour being released from a filling under such ordinary situations as drinking a hot drink, chewing, etc.
