Has anyone ever told you “if you can’t pronounce it, you shouldn’t eat it?” Have you ever bought a product because it promised to be “natural” or “chemical free”? Frankly, that’s all ridiculous, from a scientific point of view.
Everything we eat, whether it was made in a field or a factory, contains chemicals, and many of those have intimidating and mysterious names. But that alone is no reason to fear or avoid them. Many of the foods that we deem “natural” are far from it, having been molded by human breeding for thousands of years.
This awesome vid from AsapSCIENCE debunks some of the biggest chemophobia myths out there, so starting today, stop being afraid of what you don’t yet understand, take time to really learn about what you’re putting in your body, and take a big bite of science with every meal.
