There are just over 6 billion people in the world. One sixth of the world population dies every year from tobacco?

In California the FDA allows you to eat Salmon with trace amounts of mercury in it. By California environmental waste laws the remaining parts of the fish must be taken to a class 2 hazardous waste facility. Of course this is not done, but is shows you how wacked out CA is when it comes to their silly 'environmental' laws.

In my neck of the woods someone always seems to stumble across an old gold mine that suddenly needs to be cleaned up. One Superfund site cost millions to remove and/or encapsulate 'toxic' soil that contained traces of arsnic and lead. One of the attorneys in the case told me that if 100 people at a tablespoon of this stuff everyday for thirty years - maybe 5 of them might develop health problems resulting from this 'toxic' mess. The incidental contact that might happen would never be a legitimate healh issue, but the different state agencies here love to rattle their sabers and make people do things that won't improve the health, safety, or welfare of the neighbors around them.

Drink On...something else is going to be your demise.

Probably stuff like floride and chlorine is my guess. That it is visible tells me it probably came from the water, not from the bottle.

I suspect that that that white powder is just normal minerals. Mostly calcium and magnesium. Most non-distilled water has a small amount of these minerals in it and they tend to precipitate out as the water freezes. In reasonable amounts both magnesium and calcium are necessary minerals for human health. Most Americans are not getting enough.

You can YouTube Penn & Teller's segment on DHMO. It is hillarious!

They send someone to an environmental activist gathering who goes around citing all the problems with DHMO in our environment. These folks sign the petition left and right. Some of the symptoms of DHMO exposure included sweating and increased urination.

Di hydrogen Monoxide is H2O - Water

That's one of my favorite episodes.

Close second behind the 'gourmet water bar' they make telling people they have all these waters from around the world. In reality all glasses were filled from a hose in the alley.

My apologies, that wasn't what I was implying. I guess it would've been more accurate to say "scare someone who doesn't already know the DHMO urban legend". Apparently you already know it, but not everyone does.
