The human body is 1% phosphorus, yet phosphate is so incredibly toxic to the body that it can be weaponised and used to produce nerve gas. To argue that because the body contains a certain element ergo the element is not toxic to the body in the long run is a fallacious argument.
Ditto 'natural' / 'plant based' substances... they aren't inherently non-toxic. There are myriad strange and toxic substances occurring 'naturally' in environments with nothing that is remotely artificial. Cholera is naturally occurring...
It's a modern fallacy to equate 'natural' with 'non-toxic'. Here's an article on the issue:

The obvious authorities for your theory include the 'sciencey bits in shampoo commercials' and information found on the back of chia seed packet about the '100% natural caveman paleo detox diet'... ;-))) sorry! It is fun to engage with your arguments...
No personal offence is intended,... but (having just realised you're only 17) I think you ought to spend more time listening and less time proclaiming foolish ideas.
You need to engage with criticisms that your logic is skewed and your ideas are half baked.
I don't think anyone is deliberately setting out to nitpick. And I'm not offended by your rejection of my arguments at all.
Rather it's your arrogance and condescension that riles me, especially when you blatantly know little about a subject. Despite the fact you have little or no relevant experience, you show contempt for others' views that are based on study, experience and acquired knowledge. It's a very disrespectful and disdainful way of treating people,... and it's especially rude and insulting to act this way when you are engaged in debate with strangers.
You're dismissive, in an off-hand manner, of time-tested, universally accepted beliefs, yet you don't have the decency to go to the trouble of giving due consideration to the weight of experience. It id narcissistic of you to dismiss an accepted theory as inaccurate without considering the facts. And, despite limited personal experience and in the face of many well-regarded and evidenced arguments to the contrary, you have the temerity to declare your own inchoate ideas to be correct.
You generalise and pigeon-hole the views of others: yesterday you lumped all parents and counsellors together and dismissed them as having uneducated opinions. Rather than embrace challenge you are scornful and dismissive of any criticism.
I think that not only do you have a lot to learn and experience, you also have a hell of a lot of growing up to do including a lot of emotional development. You can't continue being so disdainful of others and convinced of your own superiority. You're dangerously close to exhibiting exemplary characteristics of someone with a narcissistic borderline personality disorder.
