    Dihydrogen Monoxide can make your lungs shut down, killing you, and if gets into your blood it can cause your brain to swell, also killing you. Cancer, Coronavirus and Polio all thrive in environments rich in hydrogen monoxide. If a building’s foundations are exposed to dihydrogen monoxide it can lead to structural collapse, and it causes painful blistering and instant cell death if flesh is exposed to it in its gaseous form. Despite this, the food industry - clamouring for profits above all other considerations - uses dihydrogen monoxide throughout the food production process, meaning this dangerous chemical is present in almost all processed foods.

    Where I live, we have periodic episodes of this stuff raining down from the clouds (possibly due to natural chemtrails), and we have to stay indoors until it passes.

    You know the Grand Canyon? It was created due to Dihydrogen Monoxide destroying rocks. Imagine what it would do to your body.

    It’s considered by chemists to be a universal solvent. It’s more acidic than bleach. And they want this stuff in our tap water!
