Do you understand the actual definition of "organic". There is a whole field called organic chemistry just as there is inorganic chemistry....
If I synthesize the exact same molecule in a lab that gives a banana it's scent how is that any different than the molecule in the actual banana..??
I'll let you in on a little secret - molecules are molecules - it does not matter whether it came from natures kitchen or the chem lab - same
molecule, same thing. The human body responds in exactly the same way to both - usually by breaking things down to smaller molecules or to the basic
atomic constituents - H, C, N, O, and a few others....
No trying to rain on your parade/crusade, but it helps to have that basic understanding. Yes there can and are bad things, usually used as carriers
and binders but things like scents and flavors are easily and safely created in any lab and many are exactly the same thing that nature cooks up....
