Reply to comment by Pandepon in ELI5 When companies say that their product is nontoxic, what exactly do they mean? by shake--and--bake

>Usually caused by chemicals

I need to point out that everything you encounter and interact with, including the oxygen that you breath, is a chemical. Please don't use language like this, it just perpetuates anti-science nonsense

Of course everything is made of chemicals, when referring to chemicals I mean the ones that are harmful.

I'm very glad that you recognize the difference, but saying "dangerous chemicals" instead of just "chemicals" prevents others that don't understand the difference as well from perpetuating anti-science nonsense.
