If it's lethal at high doses it’s not good for you, period.

The point I’m making is this statement you made applies to literally everything you can possibly consume. There’s nothing that’s not lethal or otherwise detrimental to life at a high enough dose.

You’re also using the appeal to nature fallacy when you say “if it’s not natural, it’s not good.” There are plenty of chemicals which are good, even lifesaving, that do not exist in nature.

Those lifesaving chemicals are not what they're putting in our food.

TBHQ certainly isnt a lifesaving chemical. It shouldn't even be in our bodies its a petroleum based product that contributes to a whole host of problems in our bodies.

I'll admit my statement on lethality is misguided when considering naturally occurring chemicals, the point that I'm making is that the shit synthetic chemicals that are put into our foods are accepted because they're "within acceptable levels" when they shouldn't be in our food at all considering the long term effects weren't known when they were introduced into our food and now we are experiencing the health impacts. You are what you eat and cancer is booming.
