A beter alternative to antifreeze
Food additive could find use in more efficient non-toxic antifreeze
If this works it will be a big step forward from the existing ethylene glycol for many reasons and far less fatal and polluting.
It is claimed to be more efficient also so there may be a plus plus scenario. Like all things we'll have to wait and see but let's hope we don't have to wait forever once again.

Something else to think about is waterless cooling.

Not sure about the chemical makeup of this product; it may be more toxic than traditional glycol based products. BUT - since it is low/no pressure it could solve a variety of problems in vehicles where head gaskets are troublesome. Wink, wink.

I bet you could flush the system and just dump that food additive in. If the system is cooling too efficiently, the thermostat will just be open less. I think the redesign in the article has to do with manufacturers capitalizing on the smaller, more efficient cooling system.
