[Wallace T.]

My argument with mainstream science is that it devolves to an appeal to authority. The Presbyterian theologian R.C. Sproul once taught a philosophy class when he asked a class of 30 students if they believed in macroevolution. All but one student raised their hands to indicate they believed in macroevolution. He then asked the students why they believed. The most frequent answer was "reasonable people agree".

Assuming the source you cite is not the Big Pharma equivalent of the subsidized "fact checkers" used by the MSM to criticize conservatives, their criticism does not prove mainstream science right. If their facts are correct and not distortions, it shows Mercola to be wrong.

“If their facts are correct and not distortions, it shows Mercola to be wrong.”

Which do you believe to be harmful?

“bananas, oranges, red potatoes, white potatoes, all milk products, and almost all grains”

“specifically noting electric razors, all watches with batteries, automatic car door openers, alarm clocks and microwaved foods,”
