By the way, gold can be quite toxic when in something other than its
elemental form. Just ask anyone who has to take gold containing arthritis
treatment drugs. Keep in mind it is not so much the elemental lead that is
so toxic, it is what it rapidly turns into in the human body. There will
always be certain metals that are way more toxic than others because they
severly
interfere with the human body's biochemical mechanisms.

Yes, but those are some highly artificial organic salts designed to take
gold where no gold has gone before. I think it is misleading to compare
gold and lead toxicity. There is no comparison. But that is topic
drift. I think everybody has too much information now.
