Combating chemophobia

Blogger James Kennedy has a great blog but has put out a great series of posts on chemophobia, the irrational fear of things we eat with long names. A recent post,which I love, lists the naturally-occurring ingredients of blueberries. To folks that hate anything unnatural the list would be entirely intimidating if presented on their own. Not only are these chemicals natural, many of them are antioxidants, antimicrobials, etc. 

Ignorance of chemistry and chemophobia is also exploited by the anti-vaccinationists. Their goal is to reduce the immunization rate and leave children more susceptible to preventable diseases.
