Re: hydrogen peroxide promotes cancer?

It makes a difference. the cheap weak stuff is hydrogen peroxide, meaning it has the capability of creating lots of hydrogen free radicals as it degrades.

The one-electron reduction steps of O2 generate superoxide, hydrogen peroxide, and the hydroxyl radical. Hydrogen peroxide is not itself a radical, but is considered a reactive oxygen species because it is easily converted into the hydroxyl radical.

This is something that Vit C prevents.

The food grade is H202, which for some reason we call hydrogen peroxide, but it isn't, it's actually hydrogen DIoxide. Only the two oxygen atoms, not Many, which is what Per means chemically. Thus, it is a more stable molecule grouping and will not reduce/degrade the same. Tweet
