It's the literal definition of a chemical. Your body is a metabolic machine made of chemicals and performing all kinds of metabolic chemistry. People hysterical about "chemicals" and "toxins" are almost always uneducated and unspecfic about which ones they mean. Plenty of manufactured chemicals are nontoxic or even good for us. And plenty are bad for us. So we won't get any improvement health-wise by making a vague blanket boogeyman term like "chemicals". Learn some chemistry, educate yourself, and be part of the solution rather than just a ignorant voice adding to the noise.
- kelipso 2y agoThis is a reductive and simplistic viewpoint. You are basically looking at a dictionary definition and trying to argue from that. You are not in 8th grade anymore and you are not talking to people who have just learned the definition of the word chemical anymore. Level up the conversation and learn that the sense of a word changes under different context, for a start.
