The latest health scare doing the rounds. Admittedly, this one is rather alarming so I thought it would be sensible to spread the word.

Im genuinely quite scared by this, especially when you consider these points:

Dihydrogen monoxide:

is also known as hydroxl acid, and is the major component of acid rain.
contributes to the "greenhouse effect."
has been found in excised tumors of terminal cancer patients.
may cause electrical failures and decreased effectiveness of automobile brakes.
accelerates corrosion and rusting of many metals.
contributes to the erosion of our natural landscape.
may cause severe burns.
