    What are some uses of Dihydrogen Monoxide?
    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,
    as a spray-on fire suppressant and retardant,
    in abortion clinics,
    as a major ingredient in many home-brewed bombs,
    as a byproduct of hydrocarbon combustion in furnaces and air conditioning compressor operation,
    in cult rituals,
    by the Church of Scientology on their members and their members' families (although surprisingly, many members recently have contacted DHMO.org to vehemently deny such use),
    by both the KKK and the NAACP during rallies and marches,
    by pedophiles and pornographers (for uses we'd rather not say here),

    by the clientele at a number of homosexual bath houses in New York City and San Francisco,
    historically, in Hitler's death camps in Nazi Germany, and in prisons in Turkey, 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 the Serbian military as authorized by Slobodan Milosevic in their ethnic cleansing campaign,

    by many terrorist organizations,
    in community swimming pools to maintain chemical balance,
    by software engineers, including those producing DICOM software SDKs,
    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.



    One of the most surprising facts recently revealed about Dihydrogen Monoxide 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.

    What is the link between Dihydrogen Monoxide and school violence?
    A recent stunning revelation is that in every single instance of violence in our country's schools, including infamous shootings in high schools in Denver and Arkansas, Dihydrogen Monoxide was involved. In fact, DHMO is often very available to students of all ages within the assumed safe confines of school buildings. None of the school administrators with which we spoke could say for certain how much of the substance is in use within their very hallways.
    you'd think it's availability would be monitored..

    Man am I confused. I am undecided. I can't even tell who is bbeing serious and who is kidding on here anymore. I'm going to assume that this is one of those bad things that we cant live without and just call it quits.

    If its in steroids though (That list says
    by elite athletes to improve performance,
    ) Then I hate it. I hate what steroids have reduced American baseball too.

    Classic question but no, I don't think we should ban it. Of course it's dangerous in many ways and all.
