Talk:Sodium hexametaphosphate

message: Is the product safe?:
It doesn't seem that it wouldn't be. It's a mild irritant in its concentrated form, but there don't seem to be any overt hazards. It's used in some bottled drinks as a preservative.

message: I don't see anywhere, including official MSDS datasheets (http://www.jtbaker.com/msds/englishhtml/s3866.htm), where this causes cancer. I propose we remove the line about it unless the source can be verified.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.104.60.6 (talk) 20:41, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: In my opinion, _all_ the [citation needed] health hazards, including allergies, chest pain, and cancer, should be immediately deleted unless they are either immediately referenced to a reliable source, such as MSDS datasheet or peer-reviewed public health literature. It is irresponsible of an encyclopedia to put such information out to the unsuspecting public unless it is verifiably, or at least arguably, true. Would the editor who inserted these health hazards please step in now? PBarak (talk) 03:16, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Causes Cancer? 

message: Without proper citation, the whole cancer thing can be ignored.  Show proof if it is true.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.20.136.89 (talk) 02:01, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  I agree 

message: Listing the foods that it may be added to is nice, but what is it's purpose? I'll try to find the info when I get a chance, but if someone already knows, it would be good information.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.51.149.199 (talk) 05:39, 9 October 2016 (UTC)

message: In the History section:
:Hexametaphosphoric acid was named (but misidentified) in 1849 by the German chemist Theodor Fleitmann.
The "misidentified" claim seems unsourced, if you follow the links in the footnotes, and irrelevant. Also, what does it mean? I propose to remove it. Dynasteria (talk) 17:03, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
