Types of hydrogen peroxide
Beyond food grade, hydrogen peroxide is available in a number of dilutions:

3 percent H2O2 (“household” hydrogen peroxide): available in supermarkets and drugstores, typically in brown bottles
6 to 10 percent H2O2 (hair-bleaching hydrogen peroxide)
90 percent H2O2 (“industrial” hydrogen peroxide): available in various strengths and used for bleaching paper and textiles, producing foam rubber, and as an ingredient in rocket fuel
Food grade hydrogen peroxide uses
Diluted food grade hydrogen peroxide is often part of dental care products and processes:

mouthwash
toothpaste (mixed with baking soda)
tooth whitening
toothbrush cleaning
People also use diluted food grade hydrogen peroxide in home food preparation and storage, including:

vegetable antibacterial wash
lettuce preservative
meat or poultry marinade
Diluted with water, it’s also used in food-related home cleaning such as:

cutting board disinfection
countertop disinfection
sponge and dish cloth cleaning
refrigerator cleaning
lunchbox disinfection
Medical uses for 35 percent hydrogen peroxide
There are a variety of home medical remedies based on dilutions of food grade hydrogen peroxide that, although unsupported by research, are suggested by some supporters of alternative medical treatments.

These home remedies include:

disinfecting small cuts and scrapes
gargling to treat sore throat
treating acne
soaking boils
treating foot fungus
softening calluses and corns
treating ear infections
killing skin mites
whitening nails
Some advocates of food grade hydrogen peroxide for alternative health practices justify their position with the theory that disease is fueled by low levels of oxygen in the body.

Although there is no basis for this on scientific evidence, these advocates recommend food grade hydrogen peroxide — in an assortment of dilutions — for maladies including cancer, allergies, emphysema, AIDS, warts, lupus, arthritis, diabetes, and others.

These remedies are not confirmed through medical studies and should not be attempted at home.

Description

What is 35 percent food grade hydrogen peroxide?
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a clear, colorless, odorless liquid. It’s a combination of hydrogen and oxygen and is available in many strengths (indicated by the percentage of dilution with water).

One dilution of hydrogen peroxide is 35 percent H2O2 and 65 percent water. Food producers use 35 percent H2O2 for a variety of purposes, including processing cheese and bleaching wheat flour. It’s also used to kill microorganisms in food packaging materials.

This 35 percent dilution is called “food grade” in part because it doesn’t contain certain stabilizers:

acetanilide
phenol
sodium stanate
tetrasodium pyrophosphate
These stabilizers are found in most other commercially available hydrogen peroxide and should not be ingested.

No matter the dilution — even if food grade 35 percent H2O2 — you should never drink any hydrogen peroxide.
