paperdyer Posted May 16, 2017 #4 Share Posted May 16, 2017 I hope the line from the article, "deadly gypsum" doesn't start an uproar over all of the gypsum board used in homes. Gypsum is calcium sulfate. It's quite inert and that's the problem. It has many uses, but hard to get rid of. There's only so much plaster board and cement you can make. And per the Wiki article, this "deadly" product is in tofu. Here's the Wiki link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_sulfate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Essan Posted May 16, 2017 #5 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Gypsum is only deadly when you pulverise billions of tons of it and throw it into the atmosphere, creating a "nuclear winter" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedemon Posted May 20, 2017 #6 Share Posted May 20, 2017 (edited) Tragically? Considering the extinction event opened up the path for human evolution, i wouldn't exactly call it a tragedy. Unless you're a Dino, of course. I'm sorta kinda happy to be alive at this point. Edited May 20, 2017 by xxxdemonxxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
