How many gold and silver dragees can you eat

before it's toxic?

The kids loaded up some of these sugar cookies and I just ate one before I remembered you really aren't supposed to eat them.

1. Gold will just pass through your system unchanged

but silver can be more of a problem. You'd still have to eat a ton of the stuff before chemicals containing silver became a problem and sent you in for a round of chelation.

2. It's OK

for gold and silver decorations.

Silver can build up in the skin and turn you blue, but you'd have to swallow close to a whole ingot for that to happen.
