From Woody Allen's classic film Sleeper:
"Has he asked for anything special?"
"For breakfast, he requested something called wheat germ, organic honey, and tiger's milk."
"Ahh, yes, yes, back then people thought of such things as charmed substances that contained life-preserving properties."
"You mean there was no deep fat, no steak, or hot fudge?"
"Oh, no, those were thought to be unhealthy, precisely the opposite of what we now know to be true."
"Incredible!"

Later, Miles/Woody watches Diane Keaton's character light up a cigarette for medicinal purposes and moans:
"How could we have been so wrong? Everybody knew fat and caffeine were toxic substances!"
"Miles, everybody knows that the only things that have kept mankind alive are coffee, cigarettes, and red meat!"
