The Dangers of Hydric Acid

I thought something Chemistry-related might be of interest to my readers. Especially when it concerns a potentially life-threatening chemical which is so commonly used despite its known dangers that it is appalling. I was doing some research and came upon a compound, which is widely used throughout the world without any intervention from the people or governments of the land. This compound is Hydric Acid (also know as DHMO).

This acid, though not overly caustic, causes thousands of deaths per year. The most common cause of death is accidental inhalation of the liquid form of DHMO. The solid state, however, can cause severe tissue damage and, often, death. However, there is no legislation against the use of this compound.

Though many may not believe it, this compound is used widely by most chemical, pharmaceutical, and industrial companies for syntheses and hydrolyses. This chemical is used in the preparation of most of our foods, so that no one is safe. When it is created, it is often dumped in bulk into water supply sources such as oceans, lakes, and rivers.

This compound is the main component of acid rain, and is responsible for millions of dollars of land erosion. However, despite these dangers, it is still ingested by many. Professional athletes intake large amounts of Hydric acid in order to increase their performance, with no consequences from sports authorities. Remember the controversy surrounding Floyd Landis winning the Tour de France? Well, no one mentioned that every single athlete in the race had taken some amount of hydric acid for the express purpose of enhancing their athletic performance.

In fact, Hydric acid, once ingested a few times, is so addictive that withdrawal from using it is almost always fatal.

Ready for something really scary? As far as scientists can tell, Hydric acid is in all of the bottled performance drinks that you and I drink. Even analysis of common tap water has shown that Hydric acid is a major contaminant of what comes out of your faucet.

So why has the government not reined in the use of Hydric acid? Possibly because it is part of some of the biggest markets in the world. We're to the point now, however, where it would be fatal to most of America's population if Hydric acid was banned. Most of us are so dependent on it now that our bodies would not function normally if we could not take Hydric acid often.

So, if you are one of those asking why you've never heard of DHMO, you are not alone. Examine any bottled product, and you won't see Hydric Acid or DHMO anywhere on the ingredients label. However, companies have gotten away with giving it a more common name for so long that all but a few even remember that it is called Hydric acid.

That's enough for this blog post. I just felt like there was an urgent need to make people aware of this dangerous common chemical. Here are some extra links for the information junkies out there:

Once you have commented (but only after) you should come back to this page and highlight the text. This will reveal an amazing fact about DHMO. PLEASE do not highlight the page until you have posted your thoughts. You may make another comment after you find out the last, most important piece of information about Hydric acid.
