Monoxide Dangers
Dihydrogen Monoxide Hoax Debunked
OCCUPY THEORY
DMHO is just plain, old, regular H20.
Dihydrogen monoxide is a compound
that was invented in 1989.
It’s purpose was pretty simple: to
show that water could have negative effects that countered the positive
effects.
When looking at the chemical formula
for dihydrogen monoxide, however, there is only one simple conclusion that can
be found: it’s just regular water.
That’s right – DMHO is just plain, old, regular H20.
ISN’T DIHYDROGEN
MONOXIDE DANGEROUS TO HUMANS?
Water
is about as dangerous to humans as sitting down in a comfortable chair to read
this content.
Anything can cause anyone some form
of harm.
If you drink too much water, then the
human body can become toxic because it can’t remove enough of it and that can
cause a lethal event in extreme cases.
You could also try to sit in a chair,
miss it, and end up breaking your back and live the rest of your life in a
wheelchair.
ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.
NOT EVERYTHING IS LIKELY
The dangers of dihydrogen monoxide were reported
to be immense.
It was believed to contribute to soil
erosion. It caused corrosion. It helped to contribute to the greenhouse effect.
Believe it or not, that’s actually
water does. It erodes soil and rock – the Grand Canyon is proof of that.
Water vapor is a natural insulator.
The salts in water help to create corrosion.
These are things that we all know
about water, but negative water? It’s supposed to be worse.
IS DIHYDROGEN MONOXIDE HIGHLY ADDICTIVE?
The one claim about dihydrogen monoxide that really stands out above the rest is that it is an addictive substance.
That much is true because we all need
water to survive. The human body is mostly water as it is.
Claims that it could cause tissue
damage are true if you drink gallons upon gallons of water in one sitting, but
most people can’t handle that much water in the first place.
When it is in a gaseous form, it can
burn you too – that’s true. Anyone who has ever stirred a boiling pot of pasta
has seen that happen to them at some point.
The biggest danger for dihydrogen
monoxide, according to those who propagated this hoax, was that it would
pollute lakes and rivers.
How can water actually pollute
itself? Does the negative water interact with “positive” water in some way?
The answer is a definitive “no.”
Polluted water that has other
substances in it can cause harm, but regular water in no way, shape, or form is
going to pollute itself.
Some animals may have found being
exposed to water cruel activity, but that most likely happened if a researcher
attempted to give a house cat a bath.
Dihydrogen monoxide is definitely one
of the most creative hoaxes that has ever been created, but it is just a hoax.
Now go enjoy a glass of dihydrogen
monoxide, perhaps with some frozen dihydrogen monoxide, and enjoy the DMHO that
flows through your body.
