You folks are talking apples and orages here: low-level effects vs. high-level
effects.  Many *chemical* substances are known to exhibit nutritive effects
at low levels, but are toxic at high levels.  For example, you could talk all

For more information on the subject of low-level effects, from a reputable
non-fringe source, have a look at http://www.belleonline.com/
