Regarding the comment below, and sol's earlier comments about QuackWatch having some useful information, I will add this:

Rosemary Jacobs is much maligned for her views about EIS, views which I think are unsubstantiated and misleading. At the same time, from her site, which I read carefully some years ago, I found that a silver-colored breath mint very popular in Japan was actually coated with metallic silver. And yes, there were documented journal articles about this product, Jin Tan, causing argyria.

Guess what?  Jin Tin was in my pocket at the time.

Of course I quit buying it.

I also learned that the little colored cake beads -- the silver ones -- have metallic silver, if Rosemary is right. (No journal articles about that if I remember.)

Anyway, I think sol is right that it is useful to read widely even if we have been told that a certain source is biased. One never knows. It is good to keep an open mind.
