Would Minute Maid Lemonade with sodium hexametaphosphate create a urine sample that would test positive for Methamphetamines or amphetamines. Or is there any other ingredient in the product that would affect the results in drug testing.

I don't think I've ever heard that before, nor can I find anything online suggesting it. Where did you hear it? —Ben Brockert (42) UE News 03:17, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Sodium hexametaphosphate

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.

[edit] Ingestion listed as questionable?

If this has applications as a food additive, why is there a question mark next to Ingestion? Or does that refer to the "pure" chemical and not the hybrid commercial one?

Is now in a tooth paste along with stannous (tin) fluoride from P & G.

Also found in Aquafina Flavor Splash beverages. Their website does not specifically address this compound (www.flavorsplash.com) nor do they on their question line (1-800-433-2652).

[edit] B.P. / M.P. Density incorrect?

The boiling point, melting point, and density seem to be deviating from MSDS's I've seen. Such as this one: MSDS Alberta CA

[edit] Toothpaste ingredient?

Does anybody know what sodium hexametaphosphate actually does as a "medicinal ingredient" at 13.0% w/w in toothpaste? 134.117.14.142 (talk) 19:44, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
