Denture Cream Suits Increasing

According to the National Law Journal, suits alleging that denture creams can cause zinc buildup in the body and neurological problems are on the rise. Plaintiffs claim that products such as PoliGrip and Fixodent can lead to problems because copper and zinc compete to bind to receptors, and the body expels the copper that is not absorbed. Sheri Qualters, Law.com 06/08/2009
