That's ok, people seem to be mis-reading my intent, I do not need arguments 
that silver is not toxic or that water can be toxic. I just want to stop 
telling folks it is not a heavy metal, if in fact it is. I have also read it 
called a "transition" metal, and the toxic heavy metals are also listed as 
transition metals on the table I sent the link to.  I sh ould have researched 
this a long time ago, and not parroted things I read.
   There is plenty of evidence that silver (EIS) is not toxic without making 
false arguments, which is what I want to avoid, as when I myself find out that 
a fact is mis-stated or false, I tend to disbelieve everything else, you know? 
I simply want to be accurate.

  Even water is toxic in amounts
    large enough to drown in.

    Water can also be toxic when swallowed in large amounts. Here in Utah, a 
couple is up for murder, for forcing their adopted child to drink quarts of 
water as a punishment.
    It killed her. She was 5.
