El mercurio usado para rellenar cavidades dentales puede tener efectos tóxicos

Sobre todo en el cerebro de los niños...

por Patricia Mayville-Cox, escrito en Greendaily.com

Reguladores de Estados Unidos han cedido y admitido que el mercurio en los parches dentales puede y de hecho tiene efectos tóxicos en el producto de las mujeres embarazadas y en los niños pequeños. La FDA ha aceptado poner una advertencia en su website para informar a los consumidores acerca de esos peligros en los cerebros en desarrollo. Es parte de la resolución de un litigio emprendido por un colectivo de grupos ambientalistas, consumidores y oficiales del estado.

    A cyclist rides the Metrorail, which permits cyclists to bring their bikes aboard trains at off-peak times, in Washington June 11, 2008. With U.S. gasoline prices at record highs, some U.S. cities are leading an effort to persuade their citizens to ride bicycles for short personal trips rather than drive their cars. Later this summer, Washington plans to launch the first U.S. bike-sharing program in which users will pay $40 a year for a swipe card enabling them to pick up a bike from racks around the city and then return them to any other rack.

La American Dental Association dijo que la sentencia no significa que las cavidades comenzarán a ser rellenadas con amalgama, "que sigue siendo una opción segura y durable para rellenar las cavidades". Sin embargo, solo 30 por ciento de las cavidades dentales rellenadas actualmente contienen amalgama la cuál tiene un color plata, lo opuesto a los compuestos que le dan color a los dientes. Abogados de los pacientes han solicitado a la FDA que recomiende materiales resinosos del color de los dientes, lo cual según afirman, es tan seguro como efectivo.
