Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO) is a colorless and odorless chemical compound, 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 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.
MakC you are right.
The problem we have is that Tea, Coffee and many pesticides under controlled conditions 15 parts per million cause cell division chromosome mutations during mitosis compared with normal cell division in normal water.

Let's count how much people dies every minute in transport accidents (more than 2 according to
this), and they still issue driving licenses? I mean what are they thinking??

You can't ban the stuff, there's too many people addicted to it. Withdrawal is fatal.

I like to take my Dihydrogen Monoxide with a little CnH2n+1OH.
