        The idea that a word can have both a scientific and a colloquial meaning seems to really be outside some people's grasp.

        you'd think so, but I have talked to some people like that whose definition of "chemical" and understanding of "designed" was pretty wild

        Even taking the colloquial sense here, there are some broader issues: E.g. are many artificial preservatives potentially harmful to our health? Yes. But sugar, salt, and alcohol are all *natural* preservatives that can cause health problems.

        There is a big overall lack of understanding here. I've seen arguments like "No amount of toxin in our food is safe! You can't say X is safe just because it's at low concentration." Except that's exactly how toxicology works. The dose makes the poison.

        See also “Energy Drinks” which surprisingly neither contain nor magically create energy

        They're just spouting theories.
