That is interesting. Then taking 1 oz of 10 ppm or 2 oz of 5 ppm of CS per day would be (1 oz)(10mg/l)/(33.8 oz/l) = .2958 mg. The amount this new level would be for a person drinking 2 to 4 liters a day would be 2.282 to 4.564 mg a day. So the amount we typically take for maintainance is 1/10th to 1/20th of what the EPA would allow in water! That seems pretty good ammunition against those who want to claim that this level is toxic. Of course if they are really in the know, they know that 2 ppm or so of flouride is allowed, even added to the water, and that is truely toxic. How long does it take for them to act? 11 years seems a bit long. Marshall -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
