Thanks. I am going to revise what I say about silver and EIS, in light of this 
info. There is such good evidence FOR silver that it is not necessary to use an 
inaccurate or misleading statement in its defense.

  Hi, Sol.

  According to the periodic table
  published by Sargent-Welch
  Scientific Company, the density
  of silver is 10.5 grams per cubic
  centimeter (water has a density
  of one gram per cubic centimeter.)

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

  We cannot live without iron, copper,
  zinc and manganese. Their respective
  densities are: 7.86, 8.96, 7.14 and
  7.43 grams per cubic centimeter.
  So they are all heavy metals according
  to the definition you mention.

  Best regards,

  Matthew
