Advertisements for natural and organic products are constantly being broadcast to us customers. There are several websites and news articles dedicated to spreading the idea that "natural is good and man-made is bad." The growing acceptance of this idea demonstrates the urgent need for clarification on this issue.
Nature's potential to damage humans is not a novel concept. Have you ever heard of tetanus, botulism, HIV, TB, malaria, or HIV? Why then are so many people of the opinion that nothing but natural items are better for us than manufactured ones? Although modern science has given us many deadly compounds like DDT and dioxins, do you truly believe that chemicals found in nature are any less dangerous to you?
Natural processes manufacture chemicals without the help of humans. Humans create synthetic chemicals using processes that differ from those that nature employs, and these chemical structures may or may not be present in nature. According to this definition, a natural product can be used to create a synthetic chemical. Be aware that "artificial" is frequently used in place of "synthetic" in the food industry.
Botulinum toxin and tetanospasmin are the two compounds that are known to be the most harmful to humans. The protein and neurotoxin known as botulinum toxin, which is produced by bacteria spores, is what causes botulism. The bacterial neurotoxin tetanospasmin is what causes tetanus. The most toxic natural chemical, botulinum toxin is over a million times more toxic than all of the synthetic chemicals, except dioxin. Researchers in California who studied natural and synthetic chemicals in the human diet in 2001 and wrote, “Among the agents identified as human carcinogens by the International Agency for Research in Cancer 62% occur naturally: 16 are natural chemicals, 11 are mixtures of natural chemicals, and 10 are infectious agents. Thus, the idea that a chemical is “safe” because it is natural, is not correct”
It will taste the same, smell the same, and operate the same in your body as the natural component it is meant to complement, such as ascorbic acid, which is the main form of vitamin C. Synthetic compounds have the exact same chemical structure as natural compounds. The majority of the time, this is accurate, but occasionally there are extra or unintentional products. For instance, synthesized Vitamin E is known as dl-tocopherol and naturally obtained Vitamin E is known as d-tocopherol. The distinction between the two is that "dl" denotes a combination of d- and l-tocopherol. There is absolutely no proof that the "l" version is bad for your body.
It is important so spread awareness on how synthetic medicine can produce benefits.
