"The VIRICUDE FLUCIDE has been proven in testing to be nontoxic in any host including humans."

I'm sorry, but that's a large enough distortion of the truth to be called a lie. The safety of fluicide has never been tested in humans. In fact, it has only been tested in rats and maybe a handful of other standard laboratory animals. Remember that a rat dies of old age in less time than it may take a problem caused by chronic long term exposure to even show up in a human. Sure, there are reasons to believe that Fluicide is probably safe for people. But that's a far cry from saying that its been proven. We won't have strong evidence that Fluicide is safe for humans until toxicity tests have been completed and phase 1 tests have been completed. Even then, we don't have certainty. There are instances of drugs that gone all the way through to FDA acceptance only to be shown to be much more dangerous than was expected once they were tried on a large group of patients.

For nearly all mammals, including rats, methanol is safer than ethanol. But humans metabolize methanol differently than other mammals do, so for us modest quantities of ethanol are safe but methanol is a deadly poison. Safety for rats and hamsters does not necessarily imply safety for humans.
