.... But The FDA Says Amalgam's OK!
strong-122-4788854 March 2015
If you happen to have amalgam fillings (which contain mercury) in your teeth, then this insightful documentary's dire message about heavy-metal poisoning is sure to cause you some serious concern and alarm.

To say that mercury's toxicity to humans is pandemic would truly be an understatement. And the fact that the medical industry (for decades) has continued to push the concern about mercury's potential harm aside is a damning statement about the ultimate power of the almighty dollar.

Through interviews with victims of mercury-poisoning, as well as insights from enlightened dentists, and educated environmentalists, the viewer soon learns a very shocking, real-life story about mercury and its poisonous effects that year-after-year affects the health (both physical & mental) of millions of unsuspecting sufferers from coast to coast, and beyond.

Competently directed by Elizabeth Hong, Mercury Undercover is certainly an eye-opening documentary that I highly recommend. I guarantee that it will hold your rapt attention for its full 70-minute running time.

Bringing Mercury's Toxicity To The Public's Attention
"Mercury Undercover" is an eye-opening documentary that brings to light a serious problem of poisoning that affects more people than you ever imagined.

This film closely explores the causes and effects of mercury contamination as seen through the eyes of doctors, scientists, environmental experts, and mercury poisoning survivors.

Not only that, but, this presentation also exposes some of the most negative aspects of human nature, as it uncovers the terrible things that some people will do for money.

For the most part - "Mercury Undercover" is quite a revealing story that will certainly have you thinking twice before you eat the next catch-of-the-day.

Get The Mercury Out!!
roddekker29 July 2015
In general - If, in the past, you weren't much concerned about the adverse effects that heavy metal poisoning had on humans, wildlife, and the environment, then you certainly may sit up and take notice after watching Mercury Undercover.

And, if you are one of the millions of people who have had Amalgam fillings put into your teeth, then after viewing Mercury Undercover you just might seriously consider having them removed, like, pronto!

According to Mercury Undercover, it is estimated that (each year) the American pharmaceutical companies release something like 29 tons of waste into our water system. I'm sure you can easily imagine what irreparable damage this, alone, does to the Earth's fragile ecosystem.

All-in-all - Mercury Undercover was a fairly interesting and informative documentary. Though, at times, it was somewhat depressing when victims of Amalgam poisoning told their sad, and seemingly hopeless, stories.
