One of my mother’s degrees was in nutrition. She had graduated in the 1930’s. One day she quoted chapter and verse on what the government had said about various foods, quoting dates when they’d said it. Bacon good, bacon bad, eggs good, eggs bad, butter good, butter deadly, etc. Her point was you could find published papers from “reputable” scientists claiming the exact opposite for everything we ate. She said, “If it’s food eat it. Just don’t overdo it on anything. It’s getting fat, not exercising and not washing your hands that’s bad for you. Anything else, just use moderation and you’ll be about as well off as anything else.” Remember, there was a time when scientists thought radiation was good for you. Radium was added to everything from toothpaste to soap.

One thing that has not changed. The same so-called experts are still saying “”trust the science”” (ie...them).
The simple wisdom of children.
Asbestos was used in cigarette filters in the 60's.,..
I think the only overall consensus I agree with is that fake food is bad for you.
If it’s real food, your body knows what to do with it.
Very good advice.
There was a time when you could try on shoes and stand under an xray to see how they fit. Friend of mine who is about 7 years older than I (I’m 72) said he remembered doing that as a kid at the shoe store.
They also used to stick radium rods up one’s nose for chronic sinus issues.
There are plenty more stories like that. Trust the government science.
