Moderator Note

Personal attacks are not accepted here - on both sides. Please read our rules.

This is a science forum, and while we are glad to help, we are also following the scientific method and science ethical conduct. This is a forum for discussions, not just automatic answer-giving.

Coming here expecting direct answers with no questioning is probably not the best thing to expect.

Neither is making claims people might disagree with and then being surprised they raise their disagreements in this public forum.

Excerpts from: ScienceForums.Net Forum Rules

 

Section 1: Purpose Statement

ScienceForums.net is dedicated to providing a forum for the discussion of all things scientific with the highest degree of integrity and respectability. We aim to provide all individuals, regardless of their education level, a forum to express their ideas and love of science.

 

Section 2: Posting

1. Be civil.

a. No flaming. Refrain from insulting or attacking users in a discussion.

d. Please refer to SFN's etiquette guide before posting.

5. Stay on topic. Posts should be relevant to the discussion at hand. This means that you shouldn't use scientific threads to advertise your own personal theory, or post only to incite a hostile argument.

10. Keep alternative science and your own personal conjecture to the appropriate forum (Speculations). Threads in the ordinary science forums should be answered with ordinary science, not your own personal hypothesis. Posting pet "theories" in mainstream science forums is considered thread hijacking.

 

 

I was however unaware of the following rule, and do apologize for not citing a warning of potential dangers (as obvious as those dangers are)

 

3b. Discussion relating to hazardous or illegal chemicals or procedures is prohibited, unless the discussion:

ii. Contains a warning of the potential hazards

 

At this time, please allow me to state:

 

Azoxymethane is carcinogenic and is a neurotoxic chemical compound. It is not a controlled substance. Its carcinogenic action is related to induction O⁶-methylguanine leading to G→A transitions in DNA. It induces tumorigenesis in the colon of laboratory animals and is used to study the mechanism of cancer progression and chemoprevention. For additional information, please refer to the MSDS link at the following address: http://www.sigmaaldrich.com/catalog/ProductDetail.do?D7=0&N5=SEARCH_CONCAT_PNO|BRAND_KEY&N4=A2853|SIGMA&N25=0&QS=ON&F=SPEC .

Further, be aware that most chemicals including water and oxygen can be dangerous if misused and safety information should be referenced before use.

Again, I apologize for the oversight.
