Don;t you love when companies try to market things as "chemical-free"? Like all the earth and everything in it is not made up of "chemicals"? Carbon is a chemical, folks, water is Hydrogen DiOxide - we are comprised of chemicals ...
I just got an email from the compounding pharmacy where I get my allergy drugs made for "skin care day" that touts "chemical free make-up" - what they don't realize is I bet my skin would react horribly to all the products they are selling!
Actually water is dihydrogen monoxide (H2O). What you described is HO2, which is a peroxide ion. (Sorry, I'm a chemist and had to fix this.)
Anyway, chemophobia is a bad thing. The problem is the scientific illiteracy. I know there are a lot of $5 words on food labels. If you were to describe each and every organic molecule found in your basic banana by its official name it would look even worse!:D
Whoops, I knew that! Thanks for the correction! ;) Serves me rights for posting while annoyed!Quote:
