And once again, nobody is claiming mercury is not toxic. What was questioned is that mercury amalgams are still leaching mercury and causing health problems a decade or more after being put in. This is what I doubt as most of the mercury is long gone from the fillings in the first couple of years after being put in. And a decade down the road all the mercury that leached out in the first couple of years would have been chelated out of the body by foods in our diet long before the decade is out.
