    (DHMO) is a colourless and odourless chemical compound, also referred to by some as Hydronium Hydroxide, or simply Hydric acid. Its basis is the highly reactive hydroxyl radical, a species shown to mutate DNA, denature proteins, disrupt cell membranes, and chemically alter critical neurotransmitters. The atomic components of DHMO are found in a number of caustic, explosive and poisonous compounds such as Sulfuric Acid, Nitroglycerine and Ethyl Alcohol.

    Each year, Dihydrogen Monoxide is a known causative component in many thousands of deaths and is a major contributor to millions upon millions of dollars in damage to property and the environment. Some of the known perils of Dihydrogen Monoxide are:

    Death due to accidental inhalation of DHMO, even in small quantities.
    Prolonged exposure to solid DHMO causes severe tissue damage.
    Gaseous DHMO can cause severe burns.
    Found in biopsies of pre-cancerous tumors and lesions.

    Despite the known dangers of DHMO, it continues to be used daily by industry, government, and even in private homes across the U.S. and worldwide. Some of the well-known uses of Dihydrogen Monoxide are:

    as an industrial solvent and coolant, in nuclear power plants,
    by the U.S. Navy in the propulsion systems of some older vessels,
    by elite athletes to improve performance,
    in the production of Styrofoam,
    in biological and chemical weapons manufacture,
    in the development of genetically engineering crops and animals,
    in Hitler's death camps in Nazi Germany, and in prisons in Serbia, Croatia, Libya, Iraq and Iran,
    in World War II prison camps in Japan, and in prisons in China, for various forms of torture,
    by many terrorist organizations including al Qaeda,
    in animal research laboratories, and
    in pesticide production and distribution.

    What you may find surprising are some of the products and places where DHMO is used, but which for one reason or another, are not normally made part of public presentations on the dangers to the lives of our family members and friends. Among these startling uses are:

    as an additive to food products, including jarred baby food and baby formula, and even in many soups, carbonated beverages and supposedly "all-natural" fruit juices
    in cough medicines and other liquid pharmaceuticals,
    in spray-on oven cleaners,
    in shampoos, shaving creams, deodorants and numerous other bathroom products,
    in bathtub bubble products marketed to children,
    as a preservative in grocery store fresh produce sections,
    in the production of beer by all the major beer distributors,
    in the coffee available at major coffee houses in the US and abroad,
    in Formula One race cars, although its use is regulated by the Formula One Racing Commission, and
    as a target of ongoing NASA planetary and stellar research.

    As a chemist, should I keep my mouth shut on this? I've spotted you know what! Haha

    Do you mean H2O as in water? Does not work mate.

    "One of the most surprising facts recently revealed about DHMO contamination is in its use as a food and produce "decontaminant." Studies have shown that even after careful washing, food and produce that has been contaminated by DHMO remains tainted by DHMO."
