Why? They already include 11 Fl. Oz of ethanol with each case.

Then they should also include a couple of pounds of carrots... to help whatever detriment your eyesight suffers when you drink that stuff...

Methinks you are confused. Lay off the Corona.

Methinks you're correct... I confused ethanol with methanol ...

Interesting, how the presence of three extra atoms can make such a difference in its effects...

Methanol is not toxic. Formaldehyde is. This is the metabolic product of the breakdown of methanol in the human body.

 

It does the embalmer's job BEFORE you get to the funeral home.

Very interesting subject... I learned something new today, thanks.

Yeah but it's another metabolite (to wit: formic acid) that's da bomb (i.e. acute toxin Re: the second cranial nerve)...

By that logic would you grant an argument that carcinogens are taking an unfair 'rap' for pathology owed the neoplastic lesions they incite?

Where does 'consequence and incidence' end?

Hey @joeyd999 -- Never mind me - It's been a loooong day

Acetaldehyde makes a (well-neigh) fair fist as a fixative as well -- So no need to switch from dear old EtOH as your 'poison of choice' in deference to your friendly neighborhood mortician

OBTW this post is (at least) 80% BS! -- Either way you'd 'box' long before serum/tissue aldehyde concentrations approached 'preservative levels'...

Good question.

Thought experiment:

Person A consumes a small quantity of melamine. No consequence.

Person B consumes a small quantity of cyanuric acid. No consequence.

Person C consumes a small quantity of melamine and a small quantity of cyanuric acid (perhaps not simultaneously). He dies of renal failure.

What killed person C? The melamine or the cyanuric acid?

Much as I expect you want me to respond: "neither, the lethal nephrotoxic agent was melamine isocyanurate" -- I'm bound to opine that "Person 'C' killed person 'C'" -- Jeeeeze! I can (figuratively) hear @Aleph(0) now! Y'all know her stance on suicide! So... To the aim of avoiding a protracted, finger-wagging, lecture on the iniquities of self-destruction -- Let's just stipulate that 'Person C' was a negligent ignoramus sans intent to hasten his sojourn in this 'veil of tears' ...K?

Or following commission of the ultimate no-no -- To wit: ingesting (lots and lots of) foodstuffs exposed to 'microwaved' (or otherwise heated) melamine dinnerware

Just like the chicken feathers used to boost dogfood protein levels... There is protein and then there is a protein...

 

Wonderful.

I don't see much weather information lately, so I will interject according to the Thread title.

It has been absolutely perfect in Florida for a couple of months, except on the rainy days. Winter chores are getting accomplished! I discovered I can still wrangle a 28 foot extension ladder up a tree and cut off dead branches. Pretty good for 69 years old! It takes me three times as long as when I was 25 years old, but I can still do it...slowly. (A two day job took me a week and I'm very sore in my legs.) Now that the dry season is almost finished, I will resume chasing the self-propelled lawn mower around the yard in about a month.

ps, Just to seem relevant, I say the ethanol is in the unleaded gas which the lawn mower burns.

 

It's been raining here so much we have replaced "it's raining again" with...yea it's still raining.
