Hydrocarbon products are poisonous and carcinogenic. If you make a
statement like that, you need to supply the source. Otherwise it's
unconscionable, and please define "small dose" in the event that
anyone who takes you at your word decides to give it a try on their
mother in law or little brother.

You mean hydrocarbon products like estrogen and testosterone? A
"hydrocarbon" is any substance composed of hydrogen and carbon--there are
many hydrocarbons which are produced naturally in the human body. Some are
toxic, some are pretty much inert, some have very specific effects
necessary to life.
