Unless you're accustomed to drinking a liter at a

the silica in table salt (probably better than Kosher salt, which
often uses sodium ferrocyanide).
I thought Kosher salt was supposed to be just salt? I did see one
package labeled as Kosher that did have an anti-clumping additive.....
is that what the sodium ferrocyanide is?
It's also used as transformer oil. And you can
submerge your PC with
it for cooling:

I hadn't seen that particular project, but I did see a similar project,
online. The particular one I read about was actually being
refrigerated, but the thickening of the oil at low temps. was hampering
the project.
