You statement says to me, very clearly, that you are not a toxicologist. There is nothing out there that is not toxic. Name anything; any element, compound, or mixture that is not toxic. Pure water is toxic if the dose is sufficient. Go ahead, name one that is not toxic? See Paracelsus—this man recognized this truth around 1500 AD. We all live in a toxic world, there is no escape. You must get over your extreme views. The leftist nutbags are here to attack every private enterprise using deceit, lies, and distortions. I’m a scientist, not a leftist or one of their corrupt lawyers in it for the money.

I am a microbiologist. Toxins are not the same as something being toxic. You are confused by the terminology I think. Definition of a toxin is below.

A poisonous substance, especially a protein, that is produced by living cells or organisms and is capable of causing disease when introduced into the body tissues but is often also capable of inducing neutralizing antibodies or antitoxins.

the wikipedia

A toxin is a poisonous substance produced within living cells or organisms; man-made substances created by artificial processes are thus excluded...

For a toxic substance not produced within living organisms, "toxicant" and "toxics" are also sometimes used.
