Please stop making POV edits, like you did here. Arcandam (talk) 02:20, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
Mentioning that it is FDA approved is WP:POV and WP:UNDUE and the idea that because the FDA approves it for usage as a antimicrobial agent to clean food and requires companies to clean the food very well afterwards or as a slimicide in process water during the manufacture of paper and paperboard intended to contact food does not mean it is safe to drink...

Thank you Arcandam for your feedback on my first post :) On reflection I agree that it was undue and clumsy. Although I'm unsure it represents a point of view when compared to the rest of the piece. Chemically every substance is toxic or harmless depending on dosage. Water is a widely used industrial solvent. Yet calling chlorine dioxide an industrial chemical lends a biased POV presuming it is toxic when highly diluted. Chlorine in our tap water is deemed safe, yet this is bleach and highly toxic in concentrated form, as are other municipal water additives. My initial clumsy edit was attempting to balance the bias I perceived in this article. I am heartened to hear from a vigilant editor, though our views may differ. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Baden8 (talk • contribs)
