A New Language?

We seem to be inventing a new language, it not that a new lost race of people has been found, just that somebody somewhere want to over complicate things!
Take food for example, now some are rated by glycemic index (whatever that means) even fat isn't just fat, it's Saturated fats, polyunsaturated fats and mono-unsaturated fats, even Omega 3 fats. Then there's cholesterol, anti oxidants, Free radicals and heavens knows what else.
Face cream isn't just face cream, it has to contain things like Alpha-hydroxy acids, copper peptides, Dithiolane-3-Pentanic Acid, idebenone, Ascorbyl Palmitate, and Deanol. And thats before we get to Botox (held to be the most toxic substance known to mankind).
So next time you pop down the shop for a bottle of milk and a tin of cat food remember to take an industrial chemist to explain what your actually buying!
