I am a bit puzzled. IIRC, the silicone in women's breast implants
would/could/did leak and cause fairly serious health problems. Yet,
Dr. Ornitz says "Silicone oils are excellent from a health standpoint"
and Mr. Smith says: "food grade".
Could anyone take a shot at explaining this apparent dichotomy?
Inquiring minds want to know.

And swallowing something is -not- being "introduced directly into the
body"? I would have thought otherwise...
