I have seen silicone implants removed from women after 10 years. They were all black and all had linked.

Silicone is used for the specific reason that it is very stable (non-reactive), inorgantic (no nutrients for viri' nor bacteria). The type of silicone chosen was not happen-stance, it went through extensive toxicology studies, and has been used in various forms in humans ofr decades (hips, knees, artifical lung prosthetics, ect). The silicone is in an oxygen free environment, no ultra-violet rays can get to it, and a pretty constant temperature of 98.6 degrees. So, if it turned 'black' what do you suppose it reacted with??

Maybe I didn't explain it correctly. Sorry. The implants were empty (they had all leaked). the blackness, I assume, was a mixture of old blood, possibly dead or injured tissue or something like that. There was NO silicone present.
