ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Eudysmic ratio

Imagine you have a cookie jar full of different kinds of cookies, some are yummy and some are yucky. You want to make a special cookie that is really delicious, but you only have some of the ingredients that you need. You can't just use any ingredients though, some ingredients are good for making yummy cookies but some just taste yucky.

The eudysmic ratio is like a special recipe that tells you how good or bad different ingredients are at making your cookie yummy. It helps you figure out which ingredients you should use and which you should avoid.

Scientists use eudysmic ratios to figure out which chemicals are good for making helpful medicines and which ones might be harmful. Just like how you use the recipe to make your special cookie yummy, scientists use the eudysmic ratio to make sure their medicine is safe and effective.

That's basically what the eudysmic ratio is, a special recipe scientists use to test different chemicals and make sure they make helpful and safe medicines.
