Intake of Silver by Vark-sweets

In the main article it says: "The total silver metal intake per kilogram of sweets eaten, from vark, is less than one milligram." That seems not plausible to me, and is inconsistent with the previous description. It says vark is a about 0.5 micrometers thick. Silver has a density of about 10g/cm^3. Thus a 2cm^2 piece of foil (which looks like what is on one piece of sweets) should weigh already one milligram. I see three options:

-provide citation for the number / proof my argument wrong here.

-remove that statement.

-change to "The total silver metal intake per piece is about one milligram".

Vark is not harmful to the body ?

Is there any evidence supporting this assertion ? Personnally I only found this [1] and according to the silver article , it is banned in Australia as a food additive.

Vegetarian lobyists?

Can we get a source on that? as a vegetarian I am interested in that.

Merger of Chandi ka Waraq to Vark

Chandi ka Waraq is a duplicate article about silver foil used in sweets. Propose merging to this article as this article was created earlier. Sarvagyana guru (talk) 05:18, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Vark is a false title, Vark is an urdu/arabic name for sheet, the exact meaning of Vark is sheet in urdu and arabic.

where as the article is about the Chandi ka Waraq which means silver sheet or silver foil, which is edible. Thus Chandi ka Waraq is a proper title. Hope its clear about the difference between Varak and Chandi ka Waraq. :) regards.--Omer123hussain (talk) 16:38, 15 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
