Does the quote meant that foods containing many chemical contents are harmful and should not be eaten?
That’s what it means, but that doesn’t mean it’s true. It’s ultimately a marketing tactic that really took off, intended to make you look at their products as “good” and everyone else as “needlessly complicated, possibly scary”.
It’s better to look up ingredients you don’t know to get a full understanding of what’s in your food.
There was an infamously stupid (but popular) food blogger who repeated this trope even after being corrected. She once said, un-ironically, that ‘there’s no safe level of chemicals to eat, ever’ (or something close to that). Someone proposed a new category of eating disorder based on this type of advice (orthorexia nervosa - an obsession with “clean” eating).

Anyone saying stuff about chemicals or if you can’t pronounce it has no grasp.
A brain which leads to posts/replies on reddit, is made of chemicals
Brains must be bad!
Must remove brain!
err
TLDR look up facts not sayings
Always google to find out what it is to be educated about what it is rather than avoiding it.
Now titanium dioxide should definitely be avoided for consumption even though someone could easily pronounce it.
It’s also bullshit. I can’t pronounce the names of the shit that’s in my Xanax pills, but I absolutely DO need my Xanax to at least have a chance at living like a parody of an at least barely functioning person.
Would you eat something that has these compounds in it??
4-hydroxy-2,5-dimethyl-3(2H)-furanone, (Z)-3-hexenal green, methyl butanoateethyl butanoate methyl 2-methylbutanoate
methyl 3-methylbutanoate
ethyl 2-methylbutanoate ethyl 3-methylbutanoate
If not then you better give up strawberries as these are a few of the chemicals that give strawberries their fruity sweet earthy smell.

Saying stay away from things you cant pronounce is dumb because literally every organic compound has nomenclature that the lay person isn’t going to know.
ethyl butanoate sounds scary and may appear on a label because it is also used as a flavor enhancer in store bought orange juice. its a natural flavor that occurs in strawberries and other fruits, nothing scary about it.
It means you should know what your food is… a carrot is a carrot. Beef is beef. Potato is potato. Disodium inosinate on the other hand, is easy to spell/pronounce but for the life of me I can’t imagine how it is “grown/raised/acquired”
