The U.S. Court of Appeals rightfully, though regrettably, ruled that they have no jurisdiction over the inactivity by the FDA in forcing a ban on the use of mercury in dental amalgams. The FDA refuses to do what is right in this situation. The only reason is probably due to their pandering to the American Dental Association who is scared to death of the lawsuits that would come down the pike if the FDA were to say that mercury is dangerous when used to fill cavities.

Here is my simple solution. Have Congress write a law both banning the use of mercury in dental amalgams and banning lawsuits. It can be done and needs to as people are still being subjected to this dangerous neurotoxin.

Come on FDA, do your job and protect the American public like you are supposed to do!!!
