Huh? Are we both saying the same thing?

If a substance is injected by a hypodermic needle and then 'assimilated
into the blood', how is that different from you saying "A swallowed
substance is directly introduced into the digestive tract, where it is
the[n] assimilated into the blood ..."?

Seems like it gets into the blood stream (and is thus circulated around
the entire body) in -either- case. So your point is...?

Back to my original, bottom line question: is silicone in the blood
stream good for you or bad for you? (and yes, I DO have to ask, because
your response seems to make no sense).

It is not very likely to be "good" for you and depending on how much, it
could be "bad" for you.

But there is the bottom line question of how could an oranically inert
substance get into the blood stream other than through direct injection?

The question is like asking if glass in the blood stream is a problem.
