Guest guest Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 I have read Cutler's book and decided to replace my 13 amalgams, but composites have xenoestrogenic plastics like bishenol-A (and also Aluminum Oxide). This has me very concerned and I am going crazy trying to decide if I should get composites. After researching xenoestrogens they seem horrific, with plenty of scientists claiming them to be harmful. bisphenol-A affects the enodrine system in very small amounts and accumulates in the body, cause breast/prostate cancer and damage hormone activity. Xenoestrogens/composites seems similar to where mercury amalgams were a few decades ago - the ADA/dentists saying it is perfectly safe, and unbiased scientists saying it is not. Is a composite backlash coming soon, the way amalgams were exposed? Gold and porcelain fillings have metals and are probably out of my league financially. Which is the least evil - mercury in amalgams, xenoestrogens in composites, aluminum in porcelain, or mixed metals in gold? Is my concern unfounded? Have my 13 mercury fillings made me paranoid?
