actually the other way around. The Judge in this case is so bias against science she likely believes sodium chloride (Table salt NaCl) is bleach (chlorine.)
Oxidation number for Chlorine Dioxide ClO2 (Cl(+4) 2XO2(-2 + -2 =-4) = Zero
MMS ClO2 oxidation is zero. It's neutral.
The Defense lawyer did a disservice or the judge was anti-science and believes anything with chlorine it is is bleach
So the story claiming it is industrial bleach is full of chit as well then. Not surprised. 8>)
