You can't really blame this on people being ignorant. There has been a number of instances of corporate/government entities saying something was safe when it turned out to be lethal (tobacco, asbestos, thalidomide, carbon tetra chloride (used in cleaning products), etc). So with that kind of track record of being lied to, can you really blame the general public for having a default response of "do not trust"?
