Non toxic

We talk a lot about non-toxic on BigGreenSmile.com but what does it mean?  

Substances that are non-toxic will not damage an organism whether it be plant or animal.  Toxins, which would damage you, are natural substances but poisonous; the term toxin originally being coined to describe the substance into which you dipped your arrows to make them poisonous.
