Maybe non-carcinogenic in it's normal state but when heated many chemicals mutate and become dangerous. Most chemicals are affected by heat. BTW:

From MSDS:
Symptoms of Overexposure:
Inhalation: May cause anesthesia, headache, dizziness, nausea and upper respiratory irritation.
Eye Contact: May cause irritation, tearing and redness.
Skin Contact: May cause drying of skin and/or irritation.
Ingestion: May cause irritation, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. If swallowed can enter lungs and may cause chemical pneumonitis. Pre-existing medical conditions such as eye, skin and respiratory disorders may be aggravated by exposure. DANGER: Aspiration Hazard: If swallowed, can enter lungs and may cause chemical pneumonitis. Do not induce vomiting. Call Physician immediately.

Not exactly like drinking milk! Jim
