Attention Ohio denture wearers, long-time Fixodent users are finding out that they may suffer from zinc toxicity.
When a person has to much zinc in their body, they have zinc toxicity which also causes copper deficiency.
Vitamins and minerals are important components to your well-being but only if the recommended daily allowances (RDA) remain at standard percentages for optimum health.
Even though zinc is essential, excess zinc can be harmful. Excessive zinc absorption can also suppress copper and iron absorption. Zinc toxicity symptoms include: intestinal distress such as vomiting, stomach cramps, diarrhea, and nausea. Further symptoms of zinc toxicity are low blood pressure, urine retention, jaundice, seizures, joint pain, fever, coughing, and a metallic taste in the mouth.
Copper deficiency symptoms include osteoporosis, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, cardiovascular disease, colon cancer, chronic conditions which affect the bone and connective tissue, general fatigue, lowered resistance to infections, and impaired brain function.
If you have been using Fixodent and you are not feeling well, you should be tested for zinc toxicity. Your doctor can do a red blood cell test or urine tests. Testing for zinc toxicity eliminates other diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis, Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIPD), and Guillain-Barre Syndrome.
