Supercoolant you can drink?

Has anyone ever used this in replacement of standard coolant?

http://www.evanscooling.com

EVANS NPG+ COOLING is a new technology, a system initially developed for cooling race engines to reliably increase power. It does that and much more. It's a racing-tested engine cooling breakthrough! The technology is centered around a revolutionary new coolant, non-aqueous propylene glycol (NPG). In addition to our own race teams and testing programs, NPG technology has been proven in many different racing vehicles, street machines, trucks and motorcycles. Evans NPG has been run in 2000 HP drag cars, cross country vintage racers and big block modified cars. EVANS NPG has also been proven invaluable in many makes of liquid cooled Motorcycles; Exotic high horsepower racing bikes to 1500cc, 6 cylinder touring bikes.

I checked it out once. Its non-toxic because its based on propylene glycol (non-toxic) instead of ethylene glycol (toxic). If you want to use the Evans stuff, its best to install a higher flow rate water pump (no such beast exists for the SVX) and better radiator because the Evans stuff has lower heat capacity than standard water-based engine coolants.

If you like the idea of a non-toxic antifreeze, Peak makes a propylene glycol antifreeze that can be used in place of standard ethylene glycol antifreeze. Its does contain silicides though which Subaru says not to use.

Why, for the love of God, would anybody want to drink antifreeze?

It's not a new idea though:
