Thanks Marcos, The report was by "JAY INGRAM WITH SCIENCE NEWS FROM THE DISCOVERY CHANNEL" on CTV,(he's on every day with something). I e-mailed him to see if the report was due to some update on the previous reported information, licensing/patenting etc.
I have a question, you or someone may be able to help with:

I have seen reports of the benefit of silver in reduction of bacteria.
Now I have seen reports of the possibility of producing silverware that does not tarnish and requires no care.

My question is can these two exist together? The way silverware is made, is the benefit of bacteria not being able to live in the silver environment effective. If so, is this possible, while still retaining the ability not to tarnish?
If this is the case, why has no one (as yet,possibly licensing negotiations?)promoted these as reasons for buying "real silverware"?
If this is possible, I would think this could turn out to be a very popular gift item for weddings, anniversaries etc. Properly promoted ,with the bacteria benefit I envision every family in America could be very easily persuaded that "real silverware" is a necessity not a status symbol.
Anyone know about the bacteria effect of silverware?
