F.D.A. Deems Mercury in Fillings Safe

This is addressed in the documentary The Beautiful Truth.

The ADA is the only health trade group that endorses a product containing large quantities of mercury.

The ADA’s interest in protecting and promoting mercury fillings is also illustrated by the fact that the ADA owns two patents on amalgam -- patent numbers 4,018,600 and 4,078,921 (expired).

Alone among major health trade groups, the ADA has a system of product endorsements called the “seal of acceptance” program, in which the ADA pronounces a product “safe and effective.” Among the endorsed products are the mercury fillings produced by all major mercury amalgam manufacturers. Manufacturers must pay an up-front fee before the ADA will even consider providing the “safe and effective” label.

The ADA hid from the committee, and hides from the Maine and American public, the fact that it has these pay-to-play endorsement contracts with amalgam manufacturers – instead masquerading its system as one based on its phony “science.”

The ADA represents to the public and to its dentist members that it has evaluated the mercury fillings for safety.

In fact, the testing is a sham. The ADA has never conducted a single experiment that proves the safety of mercury fillings. It has no procedures to test mercury amalgam for safety, but it provides the “seal of acceptance” nonetheless.

The mercury amalgam manufacturers recognize they are marketing a product that should not be given to children and pregnant women, but rely on the ADA to block this information from the people of Maine and the United States. One of the largest mercury amalgam manufacturers, Kerr, puts this chilling warning on is packing slip of the mercury amalgam product Tytin which is a Kerr product and this is what is written on the packing slip:

"The health authorities of the various countries, including Canada, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Norway and Austria have recommended against the placement or removal of an amalgam in certain individuals such as pregnant and nursing women and persons with impaired kidney function."

Without the ADA seal of acceptance and ADA’s concerted efforts to block this warning from the public seeing it, Kerr knows, dentists would have to cease placing its product in the mouths of children, pregnant women, nursing women, and people with kidney disease.

Through its seal of acceptance program, and its gag rule, the ADA has hidden this incredibly important information from the public.
