No, it is not.

WTF is the matter with you? Why the obsessive compulsion to post
about things you know nothing about? Have you put that is the Wiki
thing?

Automotive antifreeze is almost always ethylene glycol. It is very
toxic and has a sweet taste.


Its not VERY toxic but it causes death because it tastes nice.


Antifreeze used in domestic heating systems is propylene glycol which
is non-toxic; there is a risk of contaminating the DCWS through a
leaking cylinder coil. It is used as a sweetener in the food
industry, so sweet it would put your teeth on edge, apparently. This
is the stuff that was being used to adulterate wine a decade or so
back.


some cars use that as well.

Methanol was used as anti-freeze, before the glycols became commonly
available. It isn't used now because of the hazards (volatile liquid)
and the cost.

glycol also raises the boiling point of water which is handy in high
performance radiators.
