||What is Dihydrogen Monoxide? |

Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO) is a colorless and odorless chemicalcompound, also referred to by some as Dihydrogen Oxide, Hydrogen Hydroxide, Hydronium Hydroxide, or simply Hydric acid. Its basis is the highly reactive hydroxyl radical, a species shown to mutateDNA, denature proteins, disrupt cell membranes, and chemically alter critical neurotransmitters. The atomic components of DHMO are found in a number of caustic, explosive and poisonouscompounds such as Sulfuric Acid, Nitroglycerine and Ethyl Alcohol.
Should I be concerned about Dihydrogen Monoxide?
|Yes, you should be concerned about DHMO! Although the U.S. Government and theCenters 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 athimbleful. | |

| |Research conducted by award-winning U.S. scientist Nathan Zohnerconcluded 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 theinformation 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....
