Naturally occurring chromium is 95.655% made up of isotopes that are not radioactive. 4.345 of it is 50Cr, which is radioactive and has a very long half life of 180,000,000,000,000,000 years. Like all other elements, synthetic radioactive isotopes of chromium exist.

Why is chromium bad for people who are diabetics?

Chromium is NOT bad for diabetic patients. In fact, Chromium supplements upto 1000 mcg per day has been found to be helpful in controlling blood sugar levels. Chromium supplementation is most important for people with diabetes. Many subjects with type 2 diabetes have faulty chromium metabolism, due to inadequate intake, decreased absorption and increased loss. Current data show a strong correlation between diabetes and low levels of chromium in serum, hair, and toenail tissues. For these reasons, chromium supplementation on the order of 1000 mcg per day has been recommended to provide significant clinical benefit in diabetes. The dose for non-diabetic individuals is in the range of 200-500 mcg per day. Chromium picolinate has also been shown to be safe in humans at the prescribed doses. A recent study showed that Cr-P does not induce toxicity (i.e., chromosomal damage) at doses up to 2000 mg per kilogram of body weight (Komorowski et al., 2008), which is close to 50,000 times the dose recommended for diabetes subjects. The FDA has also recently affirmed Cr-P safety. No other chromium supplement shows the consistent benefits that Cr-P does, especially at higher doses for subjects with diabetes. Considering its compelling safety profile, Cr-P is an inexpensive and uniquely efficacious supplement to help control the high cost of diabetes treatment. It makes no sense to toy with chromium supplements that have limited research support when the stakes are so high


Can you take barium sulfate if allergic to shellfish?

They didn't allow me to proceed with my barium swallow. They said that people who are allergic to dyes, iodine, or shellfish may also be allergic to barium so to be safe they didn't let me do it.


What would happen if the ammonium system described in the experiment was heated?

Heating the ammonium system would accelerate the decomposition of ammonium dichromate, leading to the release of nitrogen gas, water vapor, and chromium(III) oxide as products. This exothermic reaction would generate heat and cause the substances to ignite, producing a fiery display known as the "volcano reaction."


Bond paper iodine skin reactions?

When iodine is applied to bond paper and comes into contact with skin, it can cause irritation or allergic reactions in some individuals. Symptoms may include redness, itching, or a rash at the site of contact.
