The Question is, How about the effect on human skin and digestive

product wouldn't be marketed in this free world.

But has it been well studied enough?

A good starting point on biocompatibility issues is the text "Nanomedicine,
Volume IIA: Biocompatibility" by Robert A. Freitas Jr. The text is also
available online at http://www.nanomedicine.com/NMIIA.htm

The sections in that text that seems most relevant are:

"15.3.6.3 Biocompatibility of Metals, Semiconductors, and Quantum Dots"
http://www.nanomedicine.com/NMIIA/15.3.6.3.htm

"15.6.3.3 Intracellular Microspheres and Crystals"
http://www.nanomedicine.com/NMIIA/15.6.3.3.htm
