"If you can't pronounce it don't eat it" and "x ingredient in this product is derivded from y terrible poisonous chemical and therefore this product is poisonous" are two very common mantras of the anti-sciencefood hippie machine that really belie a very poor understanding of how chemistry works. If you drink arsenic, you die. If you drink a chemical that is arsenic minus one key proton or plus one key compound bonded to it, something else completely happens. It's the difference between drinking water and drinking hydrogen.

Every song I play is actually just me screaming the 1812 Overture in a raspy, shrieking falsetto.
