Zink

Zinc is toxic in high concentrations (ie fumes inhaled while welding galvanised steel), but it is also an important trace element to our healthy body chemistry, But then, so is everything in high enough concentrations, even Oxygen. Copper is just as toxic in high concentrations. So is Sodium and Chlorine. Think of this the next time you put salt on your French Fries. Even too much water can kill you.

Before you come under the influence of the paranoid health issues promoted by an ignorant news media, try to learn a little about chemistry, and biology.

People found to have overloaded from zinc in denture creams were going through a tube every couple of weeks. Those who used a tube in 2 or 3 months had no such problem. Getting your dentist to reline the plates would reduce the sheer volume to be filled, and might be a worthwhile step.

Remember zinc is good for your nuts, not sure about zink though.

Just Google "zinc free denture" and you'll find some that don't use it. _{Now, how you get the construction adhesive off your chompers at night is another story.}
