As someone wholly uneducated on these kinds of things, I just choose to use the heuristic of defaulting to using/ingesting natural substances, as much as practical, because we evolved with them and it would seem more likely our bodies (and the ecosystem) know how to deal with them. I also don’t trust the government to be discerning/uncorruptible enough to not allow stuff to pass that shouldn’t, especially now. Peer review is more trustworthy though, and gets more trustworthy the longer something has been around and studied more.
I feel you’re mixing stuff up here, don’t eat processed food, buy “bio”/“ecological” if you’d like less bad stuff in your food.
Belladonna is natural and saves lives, take too much and you die. This whole “natural” thing is so infested with scammers, it’s just not “the government”.
