Marshall; I seem to recall you making these same remarks a while back. I believe Ivan answered at that time that the response to light of concentrated silver acetate in a photographic emulsion can hardly be equated to what happens when a dilute solution is ingested in the human body. Following some negative comments by Bob Berger on the light sensitivity of CS brewed with citrate (actually, I think it was added potassium citrate, which is a very different situation), I tried an experiment. Left an old PETE jar containing ~ 20 PPM silver, brewed with excess citric acid, out in the sun over the entire summer period. The solution is still perfectly clear, with no signs of any dropout. I am not sure of the % ionic but there is a moderate to strong TE present. By the same token, many list members have reported light sensitivity of CS brewed with DW only - a sign their technique was wrong, rather than any inherent photosensitivity with 'traditionally brewed' CS. As far as silver citrate being 'another compound of silver' - so is predominantly ALL the CS made, whether HVAC or LVDC. The figures quoted are anywhere from 75-99 % ionic silver. Well it can't just be silver ions present - what you have is the COMPOUND silver hydroxide (dissociated in solution as ions of course, just as silver acetate is). So the arguement is whether acetate ions are somehow more dangerous than hydroxy ions. My own experience suggests it is quite safe when taken at the same kind of levels as 'ordinary' CS.
