As I said, that's all well and good, and I won't dispute that some chrome might dissolve out of a stainless steel anode eventually, but deadly toxin Bruce was warning us about could not possibly be chromium because he said that it's present in tiny amounts in stainless steel, and it's now been removed from from stainless steel. Since stainless steels still contain large amounts of chromium (10-20%), chromium could not possibly be this mystery toxin.
