Episode notes
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.
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.
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.
