The stuff also known as hydric acid. People just don't talk enough about how corrosive it is. Plus, it gets in the air and gets in your lungs!

It’s 10 million times more acidic than drain cleaner!!! And the government is trying to force you to drink it by forcing it to be used in municipal drinking fountains

It’s so pervasive that they have found it in the bodies of every single child worldwide.

Its a common component of all cancer cells, and trace amounts have been found in the blood of dead lab rats.
