I think Simple Green falls in the same category as the "pink stuff" RV "non-toxic" anti-freeze or Sierra "non toxic" engine anti-freeze. While it may not be as harmful as other products, I don't think it's smart to treat it as something that can't really hurt you no matter what.

One reason we stopped "winterizing" our boat's fresh water system many years ago was that we figured that regardless of what the common belief might be, having traces of the "pink stuff" in our drinking water was not something we wanted to have. I think these "non-toxic" products are non-toxic only in that they won't send you to the emergency room right away.
