    I know this is an old thread but I just was curious more about the MIO giving people gas - seems like I could rocket to the moon if I use the stuff!

    I tried Mio once and the flavor I got tasted like chlorine/pool water so never again.

    I am not knocking any ones choice of drinks, but I personally will not touch Mio. The main ingredient in Mio is propylene glycol. That also happens to be used as anti-freeze as a replacement for ethylene glycol. While the FRA says it is safe, the department of transportation still requires large shipments of it to have a hazardous materials placard. When the product Mio is transported, it also must have the hazmat placard. I personally stay away from it for that reason. Everyone is free to make their own choice though.

    "The ingredient is used in many chewing gums, chewy dog foods, cookies, candy, soft drinks, cakes, biscuits, sweets, beer, & salad dressings."

    Pretty sure broccoli is safe. No, wait, pesticides. You better stop eating altogether.

    I have been vaping for 5 years (using an e-cig). The liquid is made with PG or VG (vegetable Glycerin), 100% pure nicotine synthesized in a lab, and flavoring.

    Mmmmmm

    This is fear mongering. You drink (well I do) ethyl alcohol (booze) but not propyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol).
    That one extra carbon in the molecule makes a difference. Chemistry matters.
