Nanoparticles are going to get you

There's over 1K different nanoparticles in use for our water and food production. No testing has been done on toxicity The smaller these are the easier it is for them to enter people. They might be even more dangerous.

Of course this is something that needs to be studied, but why would they immerse a pear into the stuff? Do we immerse entire trees into it? Probably not. If you wanna know how much of the stuff is on the food we eat, why not just go to a grocery store and test that?

Dosage is important. There are a great many things that can be dangerous at seriously high levels but statistically harmless at lower levels.

Like asbestos and radiation and cigarette smoke.

I saw a blue man once ... at a wedding. Obvious user of colloidal silver.

I heard Blue Man travel in Groups?

Exactly. And a little radiation can be good for you, depending on the wavelength.

Are you sure it wasn't a green man?

Nanoparticles may cause cancer. Nanoparticles can damage DNA from outside of cells. Nanoparticles can be cytotoxic. Size and material are both factors. Since a lot of the stuff that's out there in products is not specifically tested and is often assumed safe because the material is safe in the form of large particles there seems to be plenty of room for investigation.
