This is why I’ve always liked using sodium chloride as the fearmongering example over dihydrogen monoxide.
You’ve got a chemical made up of a metal that’s so unstable it explodes when it touches water (and guess what’s in you!) and a poisonous gas. Is that something you want to put in your body? No? Well, what if I told you that food manufacturers add it to nearly everything? Or that a detectable amount of it is in you at any given time, and has been since your conception?
