Then there is dihydrogen monoxide. It is used in many industrial chemical processes, munitions manufacturing, and even nuclear power. The stuff kills thousands every year, but the FDA won’t do a thing about it!

I jokingly asked a safety officer at work why we didn't have an MSDS on dihydrogen monoxide, and the next day he actually brought one in that he had found on a satirical website. The only problem was, he thought it was serious!

I personally wouldn't use the stuff, since it's obviously a chemical.

Correct, dihydrogen monoxide is quite a dangerous substance, it is NO JOKE! Thousands are killed by it annually, and many others badly hurt. This is well-documented here:

It's wicked stuff.....they must have one hell of a lobbying effort on K street. Of course, it's used for national security purposes, so that must be the reason its still legal. :)

Thinking more about 'still legal'....breathing has become illegal, or is about to be, because of carbon dioxide, so dihydrogen monoxide could be next.

Please, just because some eco-fools have doubts about some of the stuff being put in processed foods does not mean that those doubts are unfounded.

Did hominids evolve with them in their food chain? Did those chemicals exist in foods people ate 20,000 years ago? 2,000 years, even 200? Then can we at least honestly investigate before we knee-jerk our way into a dinner by Dow? Or at least make them divulge the potential crap they are putting into our foods and let the FREEMARKET decide?
