Potentially interesting article that gives up half-way through at the most interesting part to digress into an anti-anti-synthetic chemical rant. Not that I'm against that, but I was really intrigued to learn why a chemical that has the properties of being reactive isn't reactive. The article just says that your body doesn't break it down. What does digestion have to do with it? If a molecule is reactive, then its reactive and should potentially react within the digestive system. So why doesn't it? That's the interesting bit that I was hoping to have answered and what the article seemed to be leading to until it stopped.
In other words, imagine an article about cyanide that spent half of its time explaining all the parts of cyanide that could potentially react with organic chemistry, and then abruptly ended with "and your body absorbs it through the digestive system, so that's why it's bad." Unsatisfying, right?
Also, why does the molecule look like insecticide or flame retardant? That isn't explained either. Does the fact that it has hotspots make it look like that? Or is there something more about its structure.
