I recently read about a company called Pressed Juicery makes a juice product which is delivered via postal mail.
It turns out that activated charcoal in juice is a trend that has started to get momentum.

We’re like like dental ninjas.
Mercury filling fracture
This photo illustrates how a small mercury filling fracture can end up cracking your tooth. As a metal, mercury can expand and contract in different temperatures. This, along with other pressures (biting, grinding of teeth during sleep, etc) can stress the tooth such that hairline fractures can start to appear, and then can propagate through the root.
