Well, how do you explain the fact that the FDA has re-classified mercury fillings as more dangerous than before?
'On July 28, 2009, FDA issued a final rule that: (1) reclassified mercury from a class I (least risk) device to class II (more risk) device; (2) classified dental amalgam as a class II device; and (3) designated a special controls guidance document for dental amalgam.
The developing neurological systems in fetuses and young children may be more sensitive to the neurotoxic effects of mercury vapor. Very limited to no clinical information is available regarding long-term health outcomes in pregnant women and their developing fetuses, and children under the age of six, including infants who are breastfed.'
They say that very limited to NO clinical information is available in this group. The majority of safety tests are in people older than 6 years.
This is even later, from 2009.
I put those studies in and not the other because that's what I have read, not because I was cherry picking. If I had been cherry picking I would have included the FDA source I just showed you as I think that's a gem!
