Default Off-topic: Poligrip/Fixodent and Zinc poisoning

Hey guys,

I just wanted to add this info. because I came across a lady who discovered that she had extremely high levels of zinc, and very low levels of copper...She found out that she basically had Zinc poisoning and her doctor told her that it was from using poligrip/fixodent...

If any of you wear dentures and are having Zinc poisoning symptoms, i.e./ neuropathy, feeling like you're wearing a glove when you're not (weird symptom), digestive issues/malabsorption issues, these adhesive products may be the culprit...

I know that it's totally off-topic, but I'm sure that there's at least one person here who wears dentures so I wanted to spread the word...

Nicky

Wow, Nicky, what is there out there that won't hurt us?

I'm going to go floss and brush now.

Thanks Nicky. My Mom used that stuff every day for years as most seniors do. I hope this info has been made available to them through something like an AARP newsletter. Take care.

Hugs,
Pat
