I hope there are dozens of chemicals in the human body.
How nice.
*many them linked to potential health threats.*
Absolutely. Sodium, chlorine, DHMO, lithium, carbon, nitrogen,
hydrochloric acid, ...
Did you know that combining carbon and nitrogen produces cyanide?
Hmmmmm, does that require a certain % of each element?
How about when they mix with: Lithium, Strontium, Aluminum, Silicon, Lead,
Vanadium, Arsenic, Bromine ?? Remember the "Strontium 90" uproar years ago?

Human body
By mass, human cells consist of 65-90% water (H2O), and a significant
portion is composed of carbon-containing organic molecules. Oxygen therefore
contributes a majority of a human body's mass, followed by carbon. 99% of
the mass of the human body is made up of the six elements oxygen, carbon,
hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus.
element abundance
Oxygen 65%
Carbon 18%
Hydrogen 10%
Nitrogen 3%
Calcium 1.5%
Phosphorus 1.0%
Potassium 0.35%
Sulfur 0.25%
Sodium 0.15%
Magnesium 0.05%
Copper, Zinc, Selenium, Molybdenum, Fluorine, Chlorine, Iodine,
Manganese, Cobalt, Iron 0.70%
Lithium, Strontium, Aluminum, Silicon, Lead, Vanadium, Arsenic,
Bromine trace amounts
