By the Office of Homeland Security's own definition, use of depleted uranium is radiological warfare and thus a war crime, Rokke said.

Then the HS has it's head up its a$$. By definition, and in fact, DU is less radioactive than natural uranium, a lot less. Many house basements are "hotter" than anything DU would cause.

Depleted or not, I don't want uranium in my mouth for extended periods, but not because of the radioactivity, the stuff is chemically similar to lead, which I also wouldn't want in my mouth.

If youy have fillings, you already have mercury in your mouth. Tiny little amounts like that aren't likely to do you any significant harm.
