    Should dihydrogen monoxide be banned?

    This link shows that dihydrogen monoxide is a common dangerous substance to which we are all subjected. Proposals have been made to ban it in some countries.

    Should it be banned?

            I don't think an outright ban is the correct way forward. I would support a global policy to process the DHMO with a fungal culture ensuring that the toxicity levels are within acceptable limits.

                of course it should be banned... after all, it can be found in cancer-cells and it favours the formation of rust.

                  H20 is the most basic building block of organic matter.
                  Organic matter is the mose basic building block of life (whatever that is).
                  Life is the most evolved form of causeing destruction, whether self inflicted or otherwise.

                  In other words, H2O should ne held responsible for Cancer, Wars, Polution and the destruction of this planet among many other atrocities.

                      you are confusing H20 and DHMO.
                      DHMO is H20's evil twin
