I can only speak as a type one diabetic and no amount would be acceptable IMO...

I find nothing but contrasting info.
After the toxicology stuff re-posted a page or two ago, it goes on to say something like......
'Iso is used widely in the pharmacological industry because of its low incidence of toxic residue.'
Reconcile that with the ever-present :
Never ever, ever, ever make CCO with isopropyl alcohol!!! It's made toxic on purpose to prevent consumption.
Our bodies metabolize it into Acetone. It's impossible to remove 100% of any solvent from CCO.
How much Acetone in YOUR liver is acceptable?
These are the two camps.
Notes About Purity
Distilling denatured alcohol will remove enough impurities for may lab applications. Further purification steps could include passing the alcohol over activated carbon. This would be especially helpful if the point of the distillation is to obtain drinkable ethanol. Be very careful distilling ethanol to drink using denatured alcohol as a source. If the denaturing agent was simply an additive intended to make the alcohol bitter, this purification might be fine, but if toxic substances were added to the alcohol, a lesser degree of contamination may remain in the distilled product. This is especially likely if the contaminant had a boiling point close to that of the ethanol. You can reduce contamination by discarding the first bit of ethanol that is collected and the last portion. It also helps to tightly control the temperature of the distillation. Just be aware: distilled alcohol is not suddenly pure! Even commercially produced ethanol still contains traces of other chemicals.

Every day, the body breaks down fats into organic molecules called ketones. Ketones contain acetone and travel through the bloodstream until your liver metabolizes them. Acetone poisoning can occur when there’s an abnormally high amount of ketones. This is a condition known as “ketoacidosis.”
Metabolic diseases, such as type 1 and type 2 diabetes, can result in ketoacidosis if glucose levels aren’t properly managed. In cases of prolonged starvation, the body’s carbohydrate stores are depleted and the body begins to break down its stored fats into ketones. The liver cannot process such high levels of ketones, and blood ketone levels grow dangerously high.
Thank you for this. I'm feeling more confident about it. It's widely used and obviously produces curative oil - your testimony covers that quite nicely. Properly purged oil shouldn't be a concern for problematic residue levels.
Yes, it is! Distilling iso may well concentrate the toxins by boiling away the 'clean' alcohol.
We can try distilling the iso FIRST and then using the 'cleaner' stuff, but the toxins may well distill with the alcohol.
Distill something 151 proof and edible. Problem solved.
I'll have a hydrometer on monday, so I'll see what proof we can easily take 151 proof to.
Not bad news at all M.M.Good news, my hydrometer came a day early. Bad news, my distilled 90 proof vodka only went up to 115 proof. I believe I should have turned it off sooner as I supect I started distilling water when it started dripping much slower. Will distill a new bottle tomorrow and pull it when the dripping slows down to see if it makes a difference.
