Many of them have no idea what molecules are made of. Vitamin C, for example, is synthesized by plants out of just three elements: Hydrogen, Oxygen and Carbon. There's nothing else in vitamin C other than these three elements.
Here's the vitamin C molecule mapped out, in case you're curious:
In case you're not a chemist, the "H" stands for Hydrogen, the "O" stands for Oxygen, and all the intersections of the black lines are Carbon elements. (Carbon is so common in organic chemistry that it's not even labeled.) The double lines are double bonds.
Plants, of course, synthesize vitamin C out of H, O and C. This is why citrus fruit contains vitamin C. It's made by the plant. Plants also make thousands of other phytonutrients out of carbon dioxide, sunlight and water, which is why plants are so medicinal and nutritious. (Humans can't make their own vitamin C, but dogs can, which is why dogs don't need to eat oranges to prevent scurvy.)
So where do plants (like orange trees) get the carbon to make vitamin C?
Believe it or not, almost nobody in the realm of mainstream journalism seems to know. It's a big mystery to them. They're totally clueless.
In reality, nearly all the carbon used by plants comes from the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Without carbon dioxide, nearly all plant life would die, the food web would collapse and human civilization would be made extinct.
Yet insane, deranged "environmental" journalists continue to openly argue for the complete elimination of all carbon, waging a "war on carbon" in some sort of ignorant suicide march toward oblivion. If you ask a typical media journalist, "Where do plants get the carbon they need to manufacture leaves, stems, seeds, fruit, bark and other structures?" nearly all journalists will have no idea. That's because they've all been absurdly taught that carbon is a "pollutant," and so they parrot the lie like the clueless, illiterate morons they are.
Not surprisingly, scientifically illiterate journalists who call themselves "environmentalists" have declared a "war on carbon." They are trying to eliminate all carbon from the atmosphere -- an act that would turn Earth into a deathscape, with no humans surviving. This is literally what journalists push for because they are stupid beyond comprehension. "Too stupid to even be considered human," as I explain in my video below, because to be human means you must have some higher form of cognitive function still working.

Mike Adams (aka the "Health Ranger") is the founding editor of NaturalNews.com, a best selling author (#1 best selling science book on Amazon.com called "Food Forensics"), an environmental scientist, a patent holder for a cesium radioactive isotope elimination invention, a multiple award winner for outstanding journalism, a science news publisher and influential commentator on topics ranging from science and medicine to culture and politics.
Mike Adams also serves as the lab science director of an internationally accredited (ISO 17025) analytical laboratory known as CWC Labs. There, he was awarded a Certificate of Excellence for achieving extremely high accuracy in the analysis of toxic elements in unknown water samples using ICP-MS instrumentation.
In his laboratory research, Adams has made numerous food safety breakthroughs such as revealing rice protein products imported from Asia to be contaminated with toxic heavy metals like lead, cadmium and tungsten. Adams was the first food science researcher to document high levels of tungsten in superfoods. He also discovered over 11 ppm lead in imported mangosteen powder, and led an industry-wide voluntary agreement to limit heavy metals in rice protein products.
Adams has also helped defend the rights of home gardeners and protect the medical freedom rights of parents. Adams is widely recognized to have made a remarkable global impact on issues like GMOs, vaccines, nutrition therapies, human consciousness.
