== 본문 ==

'''Sally'''
My dentist told me I really need to get my fillings changed ASAP. He said I'm walking around with '''a ticking time bomb'''!

'''Juan'''
That sounds a bit '''over the top'''. What did he really say?

'''Sally'''
He noticed that I have 7 amalgam fillings, which are made of about 50% mercury, which is a dangerous toxin.

'''Juan'''
But the fillings are solid, not liquid.

'''Sally'''
Well, he told me that every time I drink coffee or eat hot food, mercury vapor is released, so I've been getting a slow dose of mercury for years.

'''Juan'''
You should also do a have metal detox for good measure.
