. It is important to understand that looking at ingredients listed without a knowledge of preparing things can make seemingly unharmful ingredients into harmful chemistry

It can also make unharmful ingredients sound harmful. For example, if someone goes by the rule that anything that ends in acid is harmful, well they're wrong. Citric acid is perfectly fine.
I think people should be wary of what's in their food. But you're setting them up to just look at the label, and not really look up the ingredients. My point is just because something has a name that sounds bad(pretty much all chemicals have chemically sounding names), doesn't mean it is. People need to look up the ingredients.
I disagree with your title though. Manmade chemicals have caused much more good than harm. Yes, it's easy to list some bad ones that harm some people. But I can list thousands of beneficial ones that have helped millions of people.
