I have always given the research credit that it may just be highly counter intuitive but it has always seemed rather obvious that drinking poison is not part of optimal longevity. The least shocking thing is for new research to come out claiming no amount of poison is good for you. I quite enjoy drinking a few times a year but pushing 50 there is nothing that makes me feel as bad as even a few beers the night before compared to getting up and going for my morning 60 min walk without. |

That "poison" is present in fruits, and there is even evidence that we have evolved to eat fermented foods, containing said substance (which doesn't get metabolized in the best way, sure, but not in the worse way neither).
UV rays are also "poison" and also essential to normal life. Oxygen is literally toxic to several life forms on earth.
Other "poisons" present in food are cyanide for example. Vitamin A is also very damaging at high quantities.
