danger, danger will robinson!
proplylene glycol in small amounts is safe for human consumption
fda purity has NOTHING to do with it.
ETHYLENE GLYCOL is highly toxic and LETHAL in even small amounts.
most auto antifreeze is ethylene glycol, although some newer/environmentally friendly versions are not.
NEVER NEVER NEVER put ethylene glycol in water lines. don't even leave it outside anywhere.
the sweet aroma and taste attracts pets and children and it WILL KILL THEM.
the humans that survive often rely on
dialysis or renal transplant.
no offense canoe stream, but it is REALLY IMPORTANT to STOP using these terms interchangably...
