21. The same can be said of lots of "healthy" foods.

Including fruits and vegetables, unless you buy only organically grown produce and other plant based foods (which are more expensive, if you can even find the stuff).

I've been alive for over 76 years now, eating stuff RFK Jr would be horrified by the whole time. If the stuff was going to kill me, it's had plenty of time to do so by now. I refuse to worry about what a man who thinks raw milk is a super food says I should or shouldn't eat, lol.
