Wikijunior talk:The Elements/Magnesium

=Discovered= "Sir Humphry Davy electrolytically isolated pure magnesium metal in 1808. Before Davy isolated magnesium, it was recognized as an element by Black in 1831."

isolated in 1808 and discovered in 1831? There must be something wrong!

Toxicity
I removed the text stating that magnesium, if eaten, would kill you before it hit your stomach. This is simply not true. http://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/magnesium/ indicates that "Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body and is essential to good health." Eating too much of it can cause problems, but this hardly seems worth mentioning.
