Case in point; in 1937 di-ethylene-glycol was used as a carrier for 
sulfanilamide in an elixir containing 10% sulfanilamide, 72% glycol and 
the balance water and flavor. That formulation resulted in 76 deaths and 
over a 100 made ill by the formulation.

Google -> ethylene glycol gives toxicity and LD50.
