    Humans also don’t generally eat poison. But the mice in this study were poisoned with DSS after eating meat. Maybe meat is not the real culprit here…

      I mean alcohol is poison, we have consumed that substance for longer than we(globally) have been eating tomatoes, potatoes, coffee and refined sugar.

      Multiple cultures around the world have independently invented some form of alcohol

      And other species also routinely ingests poison for pleasure.
