Bleh, sounds a lot like bull. Also sorry for quoting you.
Anyway, everything's synthesised. Even 'natural' pills and junk generally aren't found in small lumps in little bags or jars in nature. The dividing line between 'natural' and 'unnatural' is when you've got a prejudice against something but can't think of any rational reasons to justify it.
