Dear Sir:

The FDA must acknowledge the stupidity of putting a highly neurotoxic substance into our mouths and letting it it sit there for decades. It is known that minute amounts of mercury escape with practically every chew and every hot cup of coffee. This mercury enters our bloodstream and eventually our brains (some of it may go directly to the brain through the olfactory nerve). No one really knows exactly what damage this is doing (via pregnant mums) to the fetus, nor what a life time of exposure will do to our elderly brains. Some scientists believe that this lifelong exposure to mercury is contributing to Alzheimer's disease. No one knows exactly but why take chances when there are safer alternatives available.

Sincerely,
Susan Miller
