That would be news to the physics community.

I am loathe to answer because I do not want to spoon feed scientific
concepts. A little knowledge of statistical mechanics and
crystallography would fill in some of the gaps.

Because of deuteron's higher mass compared to protons, the vibration
frequencies of deuterated crystals are lower than that of fully
protonated crystals. The vibrational speeds will be lower and the bulk
behavior of the crystal is changed. These vibrations affect the
ferroelectric behavior of the crystals in no small way. In solution, the
speed of the deuterons at a given temperature will be lower than that of
protons or even D3O+ ions. This will affect the kinetics Uncle Al
referred to.

Thus deuterated compounds often have significantly different physical
properties compared to undeuterated ones


Figure out for yourself how physical properties can affect physiology.

Heavy water is hot water. The flow of electricity is a quantum
mechanical vibration to the next atom.

Look, you're the one going off on some potassium compound. Maybe you should
try some Ritalin.

The ultimate undetectable murder weapon, assuming no one thinks to
shove some body fluids in the mass spec.

I suppose you can't get Gatorade in deuterated form?
