It’s a bunch of words you don’t even know:External imageDon’t use these scare tactics - Chemicals aren’t inherently bad. Literally everything is made up chemicals. Trust me, your body knows what niacin is. It knows how to digest fructose and calcium sulfate. Even if you only consume the most basic and “real” foods that are pulled directly off the vine, you’re still ingesting a series of chemical compounds that you probably can’t pronounce. That’s okay. thanks to drhoz for submitting!“If you can’t pronounce it, it’s bad for you” is literally the worst pseudo-scientific scaremongering bullshit tactic. I hate it so much.I’m pretty sure you can pronounce “arsenic”, but that doesn’t change the fact that arsenic is highly toxic. On the other hand, you couldn’t pronounce “cycloadenosine monophosphate” or “nicotine-amide-dinucleotide-phosphate”, though both of them serve vital roles in human biochemistry and you would die if your body wouldn’t produce them.Cyanide: Easy to pronounce, very bad for you.Eicosapentaenoic acid: Difficult to pronounce, very good for you.It’s more important to know what the chemicals are and why they’re in there. Anti-intellectualism helps no one.– James Kennedy, ‘Chemophobia’ is irrational, harmful – and hard to breakI’m gonna keep reblogging this until my knuckles fall off.“if its a bunch of words you don’t even know, neither does your body”This just in, your body physically cannot digest things made of words you don’t understand. Our stomachs are connected directly to our language centers. Good luck travelers, remember to eat only english speaking foods. -- source link
