Dihydrogen Monoxide (sometimes euphemistically called DHMO) is a toxic chemical "They" don't want you to know about. The chemical industry is trying to foist this poison on you; DHMO is found in almost everything you eat and drink, and also in the air of cities with high levels of pollution. It is transmitted to newborns in their mothers' breast milk, and is also found in polluted lakes. Yet despite this, a few noble souls have tried, and succeeded, in living a natural, DHMO-free lifestyle. What about you?
