Actually Ethylene glycol is the most common antifreeze. It is extremely toxic, and if pets drink it will be killed.

It is still toxic, but much less so than the standard antifreeze. http://physchem.ox.ac.uk/MSDS/ET/ethylene_glycol.html http://physchem.ox.ac.uk/MSDS/PO/poly(propylene_glycol).html Marshall mamapug wrote: > Propylene glycol is in soda pop, too, like Squirt. > It is sweet, that is why pets drink it, and then die... > Marshalee > > > > ...with all the sweeteners, savoury tasty additions, > > > colourings and whatever else they put in foods...---Hanneke > > Yep, gave up on a favorite treat, chicken-pot-pie, after finally > > noticing "propylene glycol" in the ingredients list.
