How does hydrogen peroxide become harmful in our bodies?

Hydrogen peroxide is unstable and decomposes violently when in direct contact with proteins i guess that's why it becomes harmful in our bodies however it must be noted that\nhydrogen peroxide is only harmful in humans when it is consumed in large amounts

Yes.  Taking too much of anything can hurt your body.  There are two types of vitamins: water-soluble vitamins and fat-soluble vitamins.  If the vitamin is water-soluble (e.g. vitamin C), it would take a lot of it to hurt your body, because it dissolves in water and will be excreted during urination.  However, if the vitamin is fat-soluble, it will be absorbed into your fat and remain in your body for a while.  Too much of a fat-soluble vitamin will be toxic.  That's why you should follow the "percentage of recommended daily intake" label on the side of the bottle.

Mercury is a heavy metal and is very harmful to the environment and the body.  It can cause nerve damage as well as damage to a fetus.  It can contaminate both soil and water.\n\nMercury is a liquid at room temp. so it can be absorbed through the skin.  The usual method of mercury poisoning is through eating contaminated foods. I've not heard of mercury gas poisoning, but, I wouldn't want to be near a chemical spill that involved mercury gas.

Hydrogen is a very dangerous compound, especially under pressure or concentrated.  When burned, hydrogen creates a violent exposion with oxygen that produces water.  Furthermore, hydrogen is a main part the most acidic compounds known to man such as hydrocloric acid.

Electrolysis of water causes the formation of hydrogen peroxide with the result of rapid redox reactions that would cause gel to run way too fast. Also, while water can conduct electricity, it  heats up when electrified. Depending on the voltage, the water can get hot enough to melt the gel.

Our liver is an organ that produces an enzyme called Catalayse whose purpose is to break down Hydrogen Peroxide (a toxin).  Catalyse is a base, and Hydrogen Peroxide is an acid.  When you mix an acid with a base, as you know, you have a chemical reaction.  \n\nBoiling the liver releases the Catalayse from the tissue, freeing it up to react when it comes in contact with hydrogen peroxide.  The products of this reaction are Oxygen and Water -- two very non-toxic compounds our body can use.\n\nIt is noteworthy to add that alcohol will inhibit Catalayse from doing its job.  So excessive drinking will, of course, disrupt this entire process.

Toxins are those chemicals in your body that are harmful. Some would say "poisonous". What toxins do is react to the body opposite of adding positive, good nutrient value. \n\nFor example, if you drink carbonated beverages, like colas, these soft drinks contain carbonic acid and phosphoric acid which are...that's right, toxic. How? both are acids. A pH level of 7.2 is neutral and by giving the water on soft drinks the fizz, carbonic gas, you have created carbonic acid. This may make the water more acidic which is not good for you. Also, the phosphoric acid leaches the calcium from your bones. Why? The body when healthy is a neutral pH. To keep the body balanced the body will give up minerals and other neutrients to toxins to keep the body balanced. I know this is long winded but hopfully you get the point.\n\nHow to eliminated them...don't eat them. What and where are they found; mostly in man made or processed foods. Almost all foods have some level of toxins in them, so you cannot get rid of them all. Also, as your body digests foods and the bacteria and other parasites you have in your body will cause toxins to form. \n\nThe best way to keep the toxic level at a minimum is to do a colon cleanse. You can get these at any good Health food store, internet web site (becareful here you may pay too much), ther are some MLM's that have good ones. After that just stay away from the fatty, processed and unnatural foods. You can also be more specific like carbon pills or other toxic reducing suppliments.\n\nGood Luck.

hydrogen peroxide is a reducing agent ie it removes oxygen from compounds when teeth are exposed to food particles that get stuck they form a film of yellow matter that cannot be removed hydrogen peroxide bleaches ie reduces the yellow matter it also kills bacteria by the same way by suffocation but too much of a good thing is bad and hydrogen peroxide with its mild acidic effect erodes the teeth over time

Oxygen, like a lot of substances our body needs, can be harmful in large quantities.  This is partly due to its highly electromagnetic and hydrophyllic nature.  As any patient that has been on oxygen therapy can tell you, your body is "set" to use a certain percentage of oxygen in the air we breathe.  If we get used to a higher amount, and then this amount is depreived, we feel light-headed and weak.  This is because at higher levels of oxygen, our lungs become accustomed to a smaller amount of effort to extract and use the oxygen from the air.  \n\nOxygen's corrosive nature is not found in the O2 form however, but the O and O3 (ozone) forms.  This is because oxygen is most stable in the O2 form.  This is where oxygen "wants" to be.  The O3 and O forms are unstable, and prone to reactions.    \n\n"Oxygen can be toxic at elevated partial pressures (i.e. high relative concentrations). This is important in some forms of scuba diving, such as with a rebreather.\n\nCertain derivatives of oxygen, such as ozone (O3), singlet oxygen, hydrogen peroxide, hydroxyl radicals and superoxide, are also highly toxic. The body has developed mechanisms to protect against these toxic compounds. For instance, the naturally-occurring glutathione can act as an antioxidant, as can bilirubin which is normally a breakdown product of hemoglobin. To protect against the destructive nature of peroxides, nearly every organism on earth has developed some form of the enzyme catalase, which very quickly disproportionates peroxide into water and dioxygen.\n\nHighly concentrated sources of oxygen promote rapid combustion and therefore are fire and explosion hazards in the presence of fuels. The fire that killed the Apollo 1 crew on a test launchpad spread so rapidly because the capsule was pressurized with pure oxygen as would be usual in an actual flight, but to maintain positive pressure in the capsule, this was at slightly more than atmospheric pressure instead of the 1/3 pressure that would be used in flight. (See partial pressure.) Similar hazards also apply to compounds of oxygen with a high oxidative potential, such as chlorates, perchlorates, and dichromates; they also can often cause chemical burns.\n\nOxygen derivatives are prone to form free radicals, especially in metabolic processes. Because they can cause severe damage to cells and their DNA, they form part of theories of carcinogenesis and aging." (Wikipedia 2006)\n\n"Oxygen is the most abundant element on this planet. The earth's crust is 46.6% oxygen by weight, the oceans are 86% oxygen by weight, and the atmosphere is 21% oxygen by volume. The name oxygen comes from the Greek stems oxys, "acid," and gennan, "to form or generate." Thus, oxygen literally means "acid former." This name was introduced by Lavoisier, who noticed that compounds rich in oxygen, such as SO2 and P4O10, dissolve in water to give acids.\n\n"Fluorine is the only element that is more electronegative than oxygen. As a result, oxygen gains electrons in virtually all its chemical reactions. Each O2 molecule must gain four electrons to satisfy the octets of the two oxygen atoms." ("Chemistry of Oxygen" - Bodner Research Group)

You can see how enzymes affect the rates of reaction. You can test how varying concentrations of enzyme and substrates affect how fast reactions occur. For example you can study how Peroxidase breaks down Hydrogen Peroxide into water and oxygen. This happens in cells when they metabolize. Hydrogen Peroxide forms as a by-product when this happens, so Peroxidase comes in and breaks the Peroxide down since it is very toxic to the cell.

U have to ask questions clearly.\n\nIf the tissue extract contains enzyme catalase or peroxidase, surely the enzyme would decompose hydrogen peroxide to H2O and O2.

Hydrogen and oxygen.  together, it's water.  Seperately, one is a powerful oxidizer that can, at high doses, attach tissues and potentially cause cancer; the other a powerful explosive gas.

hydrogen peroxide is basically alchohal used to disinfect use that by rubbing it on your acne and in a week or so it should get better...cologne and perfume work too they have alcohal, so if you have any of that just rub it on there and it should get better\n\nhope this helps

And H2O2 is hydrogen peroxide (that stuff you put on cuts and it fizzes)....cuz I can almost see that one coming....and H2O3 is dihydrogen trioxide a powerful oxidant produced by antibodies in reaction to invading bacteria in the body.....

There is a saying, and it goes like this: Anything in excess is harmful. \n\nToo much of a good thing becomes bad. Too much food, medicine,  water and even too much oxygen is harmful. My advise is take things in moderation, including workouts. Living healthy and fit is good as long as it is pursued in moderation, not excessively or obsessively.
