Should I be concerned about Dihydrogen Monoxide?

Yes, you should be concerned about DHMO! Although the U.S. Government and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) do not classify Dihydrogen Monoxide as a toxic or carcinogenic substance (as it does with better known chemicals such as hydrochloric acid and benzene), DHMO is a constituent of many known toxic substances, diseases and disease-causing agents, environmental hazards and can even be lethal to humans in quantities as small as a thimbleful.
Research conducted by award-winning U.S. scientist Nathan Zohner concluded that roughly 86 percent of the population supports a ban on dihydrogen monoxide. Although his results are preliminary, Zohner believes people need to pay closer attention to the information presented to them regarding Dihydrogen Monoxide. He adds that if more people knew the truth about DHMO then studies like the one he conducted would not be necessary.
A similar study conducted by U.S. researchers Patrick K. McCluskey and Matthew Kulick also found that nearly 90 percent of the citizens participating in their study were willing to sign a petition to support an outright ban on the use of Dihydrogen Monoxide in the United States.

    I thought DHMO was supposed to be healthy. In fact, I use it as a key ingredient in my protein smoothies. Now that my eyes have been opened, I will just have to make the smoothies with something else.

    So is the OP a troll post? Just to show other people how stupid they look? Not sure what your intention was when you started this thread.

    No, you're ok. Once you add other ingredients to DHMO, your body no longer recongnises it.

    But I thought organic clean things were free of the chemicals!

    Has MFP mislead me?
