Yet you don't mind having it in your water lines?

RV antifreeze is still a chemical.

It’s food grade glycol and in just about everything you eat.

The antifreeze is really only to keep he rubber seals and things lubricated.

That being said, take it as you may. I’m sure you all will make the right decision.

I’ll tell ya what, you wanna drink it go right ahead. Legality I’m telling you not to. I don’t know what or who your talking to but I wouldn’t listen to them. My CDC book, the Bible has 19 variants of that chemical. I don’t think I’d trust which one I’m really drinking.

And the reason it’s showing up non toxic is because the Center For Disease Control doesn’t regulate it. There’s thousands of chemicals the CDC doesn’t regulate. Doesn’t mean they aren’t bad for you. Take it as you may.

I don't think it would do you any good to drink a cup of it.

It keeps the seals from drying out. Because of it's antifreeze properties, it will not freeze solid until -50*, it turns into a jell and it does not expand like water does when it freezes. I don't see how it lubricates seals and valves, when you get it on your hands it has a sticky feeling to it.
If you have somewhere around 1/2 teaspoon of water in the valve for your toilet when it freezes it will crack the valve.

Guys guys all I’m saying is a bit of coolant will lubricant your rubber parts from and slow dry rot. Chemicals are my specialty. It’s my job, my profession and my professional opinion is it will help. So as you can see here it exactly is a lubricant. No doubt. Everyone knows OSHA, I have to deal with them on a daily basis. I have to know what I’m talking about or I wouldn’t be employed.
Again, all I’m saying is it IS a lubricant and I was just offering my expertise like everyone else does on every forum on here, and there are thousands. It will keep your rubber components lubricated, and the little bit that’s in there won’t hurt anything or anybody. Would you take an old plastic glass that’s been stored for 4 or 6 or months and just fill it up and drink it. Nope you wouldn’t. That being said I hope y’all are rinsing your fresh water tanks when you go to use them after the long storage period. Y’all have a good night. My reports are done, I’m going to bed. Night all.

Winterize
I guess we now have to add antifreeze to the list of hot button topics along with other infamous topics such as:
Chevy vs Dodge vs Ford
Cargo capacity, hard limit or loose guideline?
Nitrogen vs air
Gas vs diesel
To name a few
