Is it true that elemental metallic gold is toxic to humans?
No. A reference source states that pure metallic (elemental) gold is non-toxic and non-irritating when ingested and is used as a food additive, while a clinical reference attributes gold toxicity to gold compounds and overdose therapy rather than the elemental metal.
