Deuterium's poisonous. See here http://www.physlink.com/Education/askExperts/ae685.cfm (best I can come up with)<BR/><BR/>D2O is even worse - you could drown in it.

@HolfordWatch: thanks! Do the DM have a letters page? Or an editor I could contact? I'll happily let you be a fly on the wall!<BR/><BR/>@ Dr.Aust: nice calculation. But then, real world numbers appear not to put our friend off from much! "I predict that that would do bugger all" is my all time favourite prediction...!

Goodness. What an incredible pile of crap (not your excellent article, Teek - I mean the "deuterium oxide rejuvenation effect" idea).<BR/><BR/>Quite apart from anything else, given the 40-45 Litres of water (give or take) in your body I would suggest that drinking, say, 500 mL of even 100% pure D2O is hardly going to replace very much of your body water. <BR/><BR/>D2O is actually commonly used

Thank you for an entertaining and educational deconstruction of this story, Teek.<BR/><BR/>I would very much like to be a fly on the wall if you were to contact the <I>Daily Mail</I>
