Reminds me of Richard Feynman's extremely skeptical take on scientific "knowledge" - vs. how much of that is just baloney that sounded good at the time, then got repeated a lot.

And - Not a Chemist, but I'm thinking that "what things do and don't humans actually digest?" is vastly easier to reality-check than the nuclear physics which Feynman specialized in.
