My understanding is that most any metal is "poisonous". The question is (I ain't no docktuh, nor a sighestiss') "How much are you absorbing?"
Not much, I would think...
How much copper and lead do you ingest from drinking water - after it passes through plumbing and gets picked up into the water?
How much rat feces is an acceptable amount to be found in your Cocoa-Puffs?...etc.
