Oh yes, I heard of food with gold in it. Stuff like that really should be illegal in my opinion. That, or if you really want to do it, at least donade double the price to charity.
Talking in just modern times most any technology uses it. It’s used in medicine as nanoparticles for biosensors and cancer treatment (photothermal therapy) as well as targeted medicine delivery. Pretty much all computers have gold wires in them due to it’s conductive properties which sure isn’t necessary for sustaining life technically but modern life, yes. It’s been used in dentistry since like 1000 BC because of how inert it is, it’s used in chemistry all over the place and material science which we rely on to use on all the previous fields. I could go on but I think the point is clear, gold has many many uses beyond just jewelry.
Sure, I’m a chemist. I know lots of these uses. I tell you, gold could completely disappear tomorrow and we’d barely feel the effects.
Sure, some things would have to be reworked, but we’d be fine in a year.
What other relevant uses does gold have? Which ones of those are relevant to sustaining life needs?
Edible gold to make life sustaining food into a luxury!

It’s such a miniscule amount it’s not really a big deal.
