Yeah that’s basically the point I try to make. You can’t even say it’s not synthetic since you’re synthezise new compounds in the first step. There really is no real difference artificial and natural.

Let’s take Vanillin (vanilla flavoring) for example: you could extract it from Vanilla, but it’s pretty expensive this way. You could also just synthesize it from wood pulp and get the exact same compound. It’s not even just similar, no, it’s the exact same.

If something is natural or “artifical” doesn’t say anything about how harmful it is.
