So
there seems to be a difference of opinion regarding this product. Since there seems to be some debate about this
stuff, I contacted Lumina Health about potential health concerns and this is what they had to
say:

Your brief explanation seems to be to the
point: there is no deuterium (deuterium oxide) present in our products, rather it is deuterium sulfate (D2SO4). As
you know, this is a common mistake made by some who quickly glance at our product information. Interestingly, while
deuterium oxide (heavy water) in a high enough concentration can in fact be toxic, there is a considerable amount of
medical testing protocols using deuterium due to its kinetic nature and its isotopic effects occurring in chemical
reactions involving bond rupture of H and D. In Fact, deuterium is used in medical applications today to increase
the mean tumor blood flow and perfusion rate. Again, we do not actually use deuterium in our formulation process,
but I think that you (and your customer) would be surprised to know that a MEDLINE search reveals thousands of
medical applications and protocols using deuterium oxide (heavy water).
Evaluation and validation studies have
concluded that CELLFOOD is completely non-toxic (including LD50 studies).
By the way, deuterium (heavy water) is
used in most nuclear reactors, not just in Canada (CANDU). However it is used specifically as a buffer because of
its stability and non-radioactivity (it is a much more effective moderator than plain water).
