    Idk about that companies that use toxic stuff always deny its toxic, then if forced to admit it’s toxic say it is in amounts too small to affect you.

    I certainly would not take their word for it or people they pay to say so.

    It has real effects on coral reefs and other areas where people swim and have it wash off in. And there are a range of endocrine disruptors in lots of goods that do have real effects on people even if not quite noticeable. Amphibians are particularly sensitive to them and can wipe out populations in the low parts per billions.

      And people claim stuff is toxic when it isn’t. This is how you end up with an anti-vaxer in charge of health policies.

      If only there were some process we had that could help determine the truth without trusting individual sources.

        That is preposterous equating all of the toxic shit in everything we use with anti-vaxxers. You must really not know what the fuck is going on.
