Natural vs. Chemical
"Chemical-free"
Chemicals are everywhere
Natural & man-made
The same risks
Case by case basis
Poison/chemicals/organic are interchangable
Just in laboratories?
Artificial?
Connotations
Purify medicines
Removing toxins
Pedantry and definition
Synthetic = purer
Preferable familiar names
Misapplied "stranger danger"
Easier and "safer"
Natural contains more
Easier to control
"Nature knows better"
