Whether YOU personally can pronounce it or whether you’re familiar with it means literally nothing with regard to how a chemical behaves or potential risks of exposure.
We need basic chemistry education.
That’s my goal.

The scientific names for chemicals?
Tell scientists how molecules and atoms are arranged, because that tells us how those chemicals interact and behave.
Long names don’t mean a chemical is “bad”
Short names don’t mean a chemical is “good”

The chemical identity matters. That’s defined by the chemical formula.
The dose of a chemical matters.
The route of exposure matters.
Synthetic vitamin C? Same as vitamin C in a food.
Formaldehyde used for viral inactivation? Same as the formaldehyde your body makes.

GMO crops use science to improve hybrids. Let’s stop being scared of science tools that measurably improve our health & our planet.
And let’s stop giving anti-science activists like EWG and Greenpeace a megaphone.

GMOs and genetic engineering are wildly misunderstood
Fear-based messaging from anti-science activist groups are harming public health and our planet

No farmer wants to poison their customers or themselves & their families.
Stop letting influencers & politicians spread misinformation.
Addition: Organic food isn’t pesticide-free! Many organic pesticides are used at higher levels than even non-GMO conventional crops.
