Silver metal particles themselves aren't terribly likely to make it from the GI tract to the blood, but when they're transformed into a salt, they're ushered right through"
God it just goes to show how useless it is for people to argue for years about theories. Observation trumps theories by 1,000 miles. Competing hypotheses are endless. And also of interest: "This study implies that silver nanoparticles will be less toxic than an equivalent amount of silver salt, at least in this exposure scenario." David
