Well i really don't know that much about dentures... cadmium is rather poisonous but I know nothing about alink top high blood pressure. My cadmium was rather high when they tested me, my blood pressure was not. I'd say that is a combo facter... my guess there, some other stress factor adding in.

The bis-gma in the newer composite and epoxy/type materials is a big problem too. the bis-gma plastics are the ones they are taking off the shelf if found in baby bottles. Very unhealthy stuff. I don't think the herculite contains that or much of it if does. But I am not positive, who knows these days. The old glass ionomers have never bothered me.
