there's some solid #chemophobia for you
You can't eat anything but chemicals! Carbs, sugars, fats, proteins, vitamins, minerals, salt, water...all chemicals. This kind of #chemophobia is unnecessary
“At the core of #chemophobia and appeal to nature fallacy is also a “romanticization of ancestral living, when, in reality, we lived very poorly, we died very young and often suffering and in pain,” Love said.”
@drandrealove.bsky.social @drjessicaknurick.bsky.social and @foodsciencebabe.bsky.social are out here doing such important work fighting #healthdisinformation and #chemophobia. Anyone else out there doing this kind of work that I should follow?
A banana - with the list of naturally-occurring chemicals it contains
I guess Whoopi had better stay off bananas! :)

A great discussion of #chemophobia on Articles of Interest.
They weave together Perkin’s mauve, Scheele’s green, and the human health and enrivonmental impacts of the dye fashion industries. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/articles-of-i...
Slidecast from #envhist @EganHistory. Explores #1980s, US toxic fear & #chemophobia. So excited about this project.

Now I want to make a list of my favorite 'natural' beauty products. Like arsenic, belladonna and lead. #chemophobia http://t.co/rigDfGkic8
Ooh, I like this Facebook page: Chemicals Are Your Friends http://on.fb.me/13T3epF #chemophobia
Word. RT @DrMRFrancis @ejwillingham @MichelleFrancl THANK YOU for taking the time to write this: http://slate.me/14GEDoS #chemophobia
MT @docfreeride: Why is "sodium bicarbonate" scary but "apatosaurus" isn't? To little kids, both terms can be cool #chemophobia #scio13
#chemophobia #scio13 Good to read Chip & Dan Heath's book Switch: How to change things when change is hard. http://www.heathbrothers.com/switch/
#scio13 Did someone in #Chemophobia actually say that the solution to science illiteracy is to say "trust me, I'm a scientist" ? #HeadDesk
#chemophobia #sciout #scioSDM - my inescapable conclusion from #scio13 is that we must, MUST bring more social scientists into our mix
LISTEN MT @docfreeride: @bug_girl "I'm not here to tell you how to feel" (even if makes no sense to you) LISTEN dammit #chemophobia #scio13
Relevant re: #Chemophobia comment on "making fun of your audience"... many #scio13 folks laughed at "Tennessee creationist rap" yesterday.
#chemophobia #scio13 - Google this now: 'Feel, Felt, Found". Listen first, validate their perspective, then share. Thank you @bug_girl!
#scio13 #chemophobia @Thorsonofodin makes the essential point. As science communications, we CANNOT be laughing at our audience
Mmm, rocks. RT @KateClancy: @thorsonofodin relates quote: "I refuse to eat DNA." How do we address this kind of #Chemophobia ? #scio13
#chemophobia I wonder if "chemistry" is just too big of a battleground. Do you need to pick your battles and go narrow instead?
#chemophobia @KateClancy argues that deficit model thinking is not *necessarily* wrong. The learning at #scio13 proves it - ideas do matter
#scio13 My science deficit model #scioSDM session spurred the #chemophobia moderators to overhaul their plan. WIN!
#chemophobia #scio13 - current connotations of "chemicals" are so bad that we use 'toxins', 'poisons', 'pollutants' as synonyms
Just starting in the #chemophobia #scio13 session with @DrRubidium & @carmendrahl http://t.co/FF8lNw9B
@ScienceOnline Attending #OnOffline while lurking/ trolling #Chemophobia . Multi-tasking FTW! #Scio13
