A daily "science" segment aired on a local TV station here a few years ago (it was a short lived experiment, and now has been replaced with the usual garbage, such as "entertainment news.") Their "science reporter" broke the startling story that he had found in several food products in local groceries the deadly toxin DIOXIN.  He went on to show the ingredients label from several items with the deadly toxin actually listed -- as SILICON DIOXIDE, also known as SAND.  Idiots.  Why put sand in your food?  It is a cheap, effective, and nontoxic free-flow and anti-caking agent. This TV station is in a city right on the banks of a sound, and there is that deadly silicon dioxide all over the city.

        This "science" segment also ran a spot where they revealed that the infant mortality rate in our county was outrageously high, something like 10.5%. Incredulous, I looked more closely as they showed t table with a list of IMRs with that for our county circled. The circled number was something like 10.5, and at the top of the page it said "infant deaths per 1,000 live births." Duh!
 

    Probably could have convinced this reporter that dihydrogen monoxide should be banned.
