Less than meets the eye

There is a compound out there, almost ubiquitous and severely unregulated. In fact, according to this website:
Its basis is the highly reactive hydroxyl radical, a species shown to mutate DNA, denature proteins, disrupt cell membranes, and chemically alter critical neurotransmitters. The atomic components of DHMO are found in a number of caustic, explosive and poisonous compounds such as Sulfuric Acid, Nitroglycerine and Ethyl Alcohol.
You will some more shocking facts about this toxic chemical here (scroll down the page for more information).

Should we be more worried about it? Or is there less than meets the eye?
