There’s a really important distinction between these two mindsets. The presumption that small amounts of chemicals should have to be demonstrated harmful to be considered toxic, is a mindset that is common in the self-identified scientifically skeptical, yet is anything but. It’s somewhere between careless - something like “humans have always consumed whatever is in the environment, therefore that’s the baseline” - and simply parroting corporate propaganda and lobbyist talking points.
