This seems like a meaningless data point. Avoiding pork and shellfish has been highly recommended in Jewish writing for millennia.

The use of turmeric dates back nearly 4000 years to the Vedic culture in India, where it was used as a culinary spice and had some religious significance. It probably reached China by 700 ad, East Africa by 800 ad, West Africa by 1200 ad, and Jamaica in the eighteenth century.

2000 years, 4000 years… humans make up things and as long as they’re not visibly and instantly harmful they persist.

If it turns out matzah ball soup prevents Alzheimer’s then millions of Jewish mothers will say “see! Our people knew it all along”, but it would be pure coincidence.
