RE: Nickel-63

["Tom Savin" <lexicon@hotbot.com>]

 In General Nickel is uptaken 40 times greater when dissolved in drinking water vs it being in food
I am not aware of any specfic information on Ni 63, (Sunderman Jr., F.W., S.M. Hopfer, K.R. Sweeney, A.H. Marcus, B.M. Most and J. Creason.  1989.  Nickel absorption and kinetics in human volunteers.  Proc. Soc. Exp. Biol. Med.  191: 5-11.) Nickel dust can cause nasal and lung cancers (inhalation).
