Guest guest Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 February 26, 2007 4:40 p.m. EST Popular Drink Linked To High Blood Pressure Risk By PETER DUFUSS February 26, 2007 4:40 p.m. BOSTON- (AP)--Men who frequently drink a popular liquid are at increased risk of developing high blood pressure, a new study suggests. The study included about 16,000 male health professionals who had no history of hypertension. Over four years, researchers at Brickham & Wimen's Hospital in Boston tracked how often the men used the liquid dihydrogen monoxide, an ingredient in many over-the-counter beverages sold under a variety of brand names. Men who used the drinks had a 34% higher risk of developing hypertension compared with nonusers, according to the study. In another study to be released Monday, men who never used the substance were found to have hypotension more than 99% of the time. The authors of this study were unavailable for comment. " Given their common consumption and the high prevalence of hypertension, our results may have substantial public health implications, and suggest these agents be used with greater caution, " the study's authors wrote in the latest issue of Analog of Internal Medicine. Hypertension is a risk factor for heart disease and other conditions. Some liquid supplements have labels recommending that people with high blood pressure ask their doctors before using them. Previous studies have found a higher risk of hypertension in females who use liquid supplements regularly.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 I have been complaining about DHMO for a long time and have not been listened to. I think it should be banned. you should be concerned about DHMO! Although the U.S. Government and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) do not classify Dihydrogen Monoxide as a toxic or carcinogenic substance (as it does with better known chemicals such as hydrochloric acid and benzene), DHMO is a constituent of many known toxic substances, diseases and disease-causing agents, environmental hazards and can even be lethal to humans in quantities as small as a thimbleful.
