Is what we call the FDA in the USA!

Another fact about the Swedes, Thimerosal was banned in 1993 from all
medicines, and also
Mercury fillings are banned!

*As usual, you are blindly repeating the lies you've been instructed to
propogate. I realize that you have very little control over your
behavior and even less comprehension of it. I just hope that one day
you'll realize how you wasted so much of your life by giving out
harmful advice. I doubt that your sense of self-righteousness will
provide much comfort in the face of that epiphany. At least you can
say the harm you've caused was based on good intentions since it lacks
any factual basis.

Myth 10: Amalgam has been banned in Germany and Sweden
and therefore should be banned in the United States.
Fact 10: Dental amalgam has not been banned
in any country in the European Union.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Many anti-amalgamists state that amalgam has been banned in foreign
countries [1] notably Sweden [2,3] and Germany [4]. Even a respected
research newsletter has stated that amalgam "is or will be banned in
Germany and Sweden." Actually, the use of amalgam fillings is not
banned in Germany or Sweden [5] or any other country in the European
Union [6]. In countries in the European Union, including both Sweden
and Germany, dental amalgam filling material is governed by the
Medical Devices Directive 93/42/EEC [7]. An Ad Hoc Working Group of
experts from the countries of the European Union issued a report on
dental amalgam in 1998. After an extensive review of the available
literature, the group concluded that there was no scientific evidence
of systemic health problems (other than rare cases of allergy) or
toxic effects from dental amalgam and it did not recommend any special
reservations on its use [8]. Sweden and Germany not only implemented
these recommendations but also participated in their development [6].*



Conclusions
Amalgam restorations release small quantities of mercury, but apparently not enough to cause systemic health problems. Mercury from dental amalgam fillings cannot be linked to kidney damage

Side-effects: mercury contribution to body burden from dental amalgam.
Reinhardt JW.
Department of Operative Dentistry, University of Iowa College of Dentistry, Iowa City 52242.

The purpose of this paper is to examine and report on studies that relate mercury levels in human tissues to the presence of dental amalgams, giving special attention to autopsy studies. Until recently, there have been few published studies examining the relationship between dental amalgams and tissue mercury levels. Improved and highly sensitive tissue analysis techniques have made it possible to measure elements in the concentration range of parts per billion. The fact that mercury can be absorbed and reach toxic levels in human tissues makes any and all exposure to that element of scientific interest. Dental amalgams have long been believed to be of little significance as contributors to the overall body burden of mercury, because the elemental form of mercury is rapidly consumed in the setting reaction of the restoration. Studies showing measurable elemental mercury vapor release from dental amalgams have raised renewed concern about amalgam safety. Mercury vapor absorption occurs through the lungs, with about 80% of the inhaled vapor being absorbed by the lungs and rapidly entering the bloodstream. Following distribution by blood circulation, mercury can enter and remain in certain tissues for longer periods of time, since the half-life of excretion is prolonged. Two of the primary target organs of concern are the central nervous system and kidneys.
