The Chemistry Understanders have made a chart!

You know what is certainly pretty dangerous and comes with health risks? Fucking mining! So even if these crunchy fascists were right about the chemistry part, it shows they're totally fine if someone else suffers long term health reprocussions

    lol I'm the most nature-woo-intangible-health-benefit person on this site and this is pure headcanon

    nobody was consuming baking soda 10,000 years ago, you're not "adapted" to it in subclinical ways that science can't measure.

      Fake redpill hippie nonsense. This is far from what I know about but really close to one of my best friends who woul for sure tell you the full details. Essentially they don't believe in the ph balance that is no4mal.for mammals. They're wrong and weird af

      Where my mind went with this:

      "Safe for consumption"

      "Toxic"

      Eating seeds as a pass time activity

      The toxicity of our baking soda

      crunchy guitar kicks in

      MOTHERFUCKER IN WHAT DOSE

    Oh god it even has a dose of the PH grift.

    Reminder that your body is not supposed to be alkaline and will just turn alkaline water into a neutral pH.

    Dont use the 99.9% pure, well regulated product! Use the stuff we found in the dirt instead.

      People who are worried about chemicals in their food trying as hard as they can to eat the most chemically uncertain food possible is a huge part of white culture. It's part of the whole creepy obsession with nature and purity being the same thing and it's no good folks. It's stinkin thinkin. Only leads down really really bad roads.

    Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO) is a colorless and odorless chemical compound, also referred to by some as Dihydrogen Oxide, Hydrogen Hydroxide, Hydronium Hydroxide, or simply Hydric acid. Its basis is the highly reactive hydroxyl radical, a species shown to mutate DNA, denature proteins, disrupt cell membranes, and chemically alter critical neurotransmitters. The atomic components of DHMO are found in a number of caustic, explosive and poisonous compounds such as Sulfuric Acid, Nitroglycerine and Ethyl Alcohol.

      DHMO can cause asphyxiation if inhaled, and in its crystalline form, can cause your car's tires to lose traction. It should be banned!

        Um are we forgetting that DHMO has a 100% fatality rate after exposure? It can take a lot of years to manifest, but there’s never been a case of someone surviving after being exposed.

        DHMO asphyxiation is the leading cause of death amongst sailors in the US Navy. Support our troops and write to your senators to ban DHMO today!

    Gotta be real, I didn't know baking soda could be mined until now. Based just on thst description I'm pretty sure I could Walter white that shit up outdoors with a campfire. Carbon loves bonding.

      Could have.

      I didn't know baking soda could be mined until now.

      I had to google. I couldn't quite believe that baking soda could be mined.

              They're spreading disinformation as a marketing campaign, which is still bad even if it's for a cooperative company

                That was a joke by @came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net I'm pretty sure. I found this on some crank anti vaxx Facebook page. I'm 99% certain this was not part of a marketing campaign, it's just weirdos being weird and brand loyalty is a huge part of being a crank under capitalism

      it comes with free asbestos in it, like sort of a bonus for being a customer. oh wait, that's johnson and johnson baby powder. arm and hammer (aka church & dwight) gives you free benzene in your shampoo powder which is supposed to be just corn starch. so, it's really like a surprise toy inside your hair care system.
