Reply #52: DHMO is only water - Hoax Alarm

[Dear Maggie]

<http://www.snopes.com/toxins/dhmo.htm>A hoax on the internet that started in 1997

dihydrogen monoxide

Quote from article: In March 2004 the California municipality of Aliso Viejo (a suburb in Orange County) came within a cat's whisker of falling for this hoax after a paralegal there convinced city officials of the danger posed by this chemical. The leg-pull got so far as a vote having been scheduled for the City Council on a proposed law that would have banned the use of foam containers at city-sponsored events because (among other things) they were made with DHMO, a substance that could "threaten human health and safety."

So with stuff like this going around, and being BELIEVED, it's no wonder that a real health issue goes unexplored and basically ignored.
... like crying, "Wolf, Wolf"
Shame on them.

Reminds me of how awful the computer virus makers are.
Just playing games or something & stop business, communicating ...

As to the 'warnings' of 2-butoxyethanol family of chemicals,
they are woefully lacking, which is what I would like to share information on
