In the main article it says: "The total silver metal intake per kilogram of sweets eaten, from vark, is less than one milligram."
That seems not plausible to me, and is inconsistent with the previous description.
It says vark is a about 0.5 micrometers thick. Silver has a density of about 10g/cm^3.
Thus a 2cm^2 piece of foil (which looks like what is on one piece of sweets) should weigh already one milligram.
I see three options:
-provide citation for the number / proof my argument wrong here.
-remove that statement.
-change to "The total silver metal intake per piece is about one milligram".
Is there any evidence supporting this assertion ? Personnally I only found this [1] and according to the silver article , it is banned in Australia as a food additive.
