3: Is there poison in your mouth?
This “60 Sixty Minutes” TV show segment originally aired in 1990 on Mercury fillings and the poisonous effect on those who have them in their mouths... It only aired once because of the uproar it created in the dental field. You would never think that something so far reaching and pervasive as putting poison in your mouth could happen in the USA, but it did and we will never be the same as a result. Everyone alive should watch this video as a testament to the reality that no one is watching out for you except you…
