    ‘It has chemicals in it’

    This use of ‘chemicals’ as something inherently bad just makes it sound like they’re parroting some scaremongering tiktok.

      I had this talk with a member of my family. Water is a chemical, salt is a chemical. Just because you don’t immediately know what it is, doesn’t mean its bad.

        I’m sure they know, but maybe this is word drift or shorthand for “harmful chemicals”. That’s a lot more plausible than literally turning “literally” into its opposite
