ANECDOTE

Silver Spoon History

  • Royals historically ate with silver utensils, getting a daily dose of silver.
  • This potentially contributed to their better health compared to peasants who ate with wood.
INSIGHT

Silver's Antimicrobial Mechanism

  • Silver's antimicrobial properties come from its silver oxide coating (AG404), which steals electrons from microbes.
  • This disrupts the microbes' structure and inhibits their growth.
INSIGHT

Silver's Selective Toxicity

  • Silver is less harmful to human cells due to the difference in cell structure between eukaryotes (human cells) and prokaryotes (microbes).
  • High concentrations of silver can be cytotoxic to any cell.
