Closed petition Ban Mercury in Dental Fillings

Closed on

For 200 years dentists have been using mercury to make an amalgam that can be used to fill cavities in human teeth. It has been proven that this mercury is released daily and the increases with chewing and consumption of acidic drinks. The mercury gathers in different parts of the human body and is the primary cause of Alzheimer's disease, Lupus and MS depending on the final location of the mercury. Everyone who has these fillings is affected in varying degrees - Amalgam fillings must be banned
