Apparantly, gold is totally in-her.

Chemically inert, pretty much.

I’m not a medical expert; but I question the conclusion. Just like the whole Silicone breast implant fiasco, Silicone is inert, and gazillions of dollars were paid out to court cases that were decided by emotion and bad science, rather than scientific fact.

I don’t see how Gold could be a poison, unless it behaves like a Heavy Metal (ie mercury) and simply plugs up the system. If Gold is toxic, then there are liquours with gold flakes in them, on the market that are deadly - and I find that hard to believe.

No element is totally inert, not even the famously inert noble gasses. Gold is pretty inert, but it is also poisonous, just like lead, silver, mercury, arsenic, and most other metals.
