Recently, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) introduced a publicity campaign targeting college campuses in an effort to seemingly increase the amount of DHMO college students ingest, potentially from intoxicants such as beer. PETA has produced a web page that appears to promote beer consumption as a better alternative to milk, which is also known to have a high DHMO content. There is reason to believe that PETA would not make such a recommendation for animals. Apparently to PETA college students are less important than animals where DHMO is involved. Beer vs. Milk: http://www.milksucks.com/beersurvey.html It is likely that this action by PETA could lead to more college students inbibing more and more DHMO, particularly as the traditional "Spring Break" time of year has begun. No official studies have been done to date on this supposition, although a large volume of case-studies and personal accounts does seem to support it. Please advise any college students you know that DHMO levels are possibly just as high, if not higher, in beer as they are in milk.
