Re: More Lies About Mercury Amalgam Fillings

From my notes:

IQ Scores of Children with and without Amalgam Fillings:

In a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association two groups of children were studied, one group with Amalgams another with composite fillings. At the end of seven years their IQ scores were compared. The conclusion of the study was that both groups had very similar IQ's at the end of the study; thus Amalgams were not seen as a risk to IQ. The authors did not write about their picking lower IQ children to be in the composite filling group baseline, nor did they publish processed data that would have indicated the children without Amalgams and with composite fillings grew in RAVLT Total Learning scores 2.46% more than children with amalgams and grew 3.49% more in RAVLT memory scores more than Amalgam bearing children over the course of the seven year study.
If the children with the highest number of amalgams were compared to the composite group the results might have been more astounding.

College Test Scores and Amalgam Fillings:

Two groups of college students with and without amalgam fillings were chosen. There were 50 in one group 51 in the other. The students without amalgams had reported grade point averages 2.6% higher than those with amalgams. It has been noted that people without amalgam fillings were more likely to have come from lower economic status families who could afford dental care. One might consider what the result will be if a non-amalgam bearing group is compared to a group of amalgam bearing college students having greater than 20 amalgam surface fillings in each mouth.

Olympic Athletes and Amalgam Fillings

Dentist Hal Huggins treated Olympic athletes who were using the United States Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, CO. He wrote in his book that Olympic athletes usually did not have any mercury-amalgam fillings and at the most one or two.
