When I have time I may read the studies, I have only seen the interviews by the researchers. Here is a google translation of it:
"Two years ago, New Technology report on the fears surrounding the nanoparticles of silver can contribute to more disease-causing bacteria become resistant to antibiotics. Now, reports researchers at Lund University that nanosilver affect stem cells that give rise to neurons in the brain and retina. The studies were partly on human cells in culture, and cell models of the retina in mice. The cells were exposed to low doses of nanoparticles of silver and gold. The particles had a diameter of 20 and 80 nanometers (billionths of a meter). It is far less than the size of a cell and allows them to slip into our cells which are liable to affect them biologically. The research results show that cell damage is primarily caused by silver ions released from the nanoparticles. That silver nanoparticles, or nanosilver as it is often called, is more harmful than other silver depends on ytförstoringseffekten of nanomaterials. A larger effective surface releases more silver ions and exhibits greater toxicity, it is pointed out in a press release. - Our results are indeed alarming, says Fredrik Johansson at Lund University. Silver nanoparticles are mainly used as anti-bacterial coating in many products. These include, for example, refrigerators, washing machines, sports clothing and shoes. The reason is that the silver ions released from the silver is bactericidal. Silver ions are also present in products in alternative medicine, so-called colloidal silver. The studies also show that the gold particles can be harmful." Now my opinion is that one still has to be careful before jumping into any firm conclusion. See how the study was done, doses and also compare with other studies that support that it is not harmful. /André 2014-12-17 19:47 GMT+01:00 mgperrault <mgperra...@aol.com>: > > You can see the little nano bits of silver or gold in the photos.
