heres an article stating how some poisons in small doses have a
positive effect.
But scientists who go to the trouble of measuring actual toxic effects at low levels often observe a J-shaped "dose response" curve instead of a straight line. That means the risks many toxins pose at real-world levels have probably been exaggerated. The J-curve also suggests an idea that, at first blush, seems daft: Policies that foster small exposures to toxins might be better for public health than ones aimed at eliminating them.
Don't mess with this radical notion at home. On second thought, it may well be too late: Consider the toxins you've probably already taken at low doses in order to get their hormetic effects: a kidney poison known as vitamin D, a neurotoxin called caffeine, and that edifying solvent and fuel additive, ethyl alcohol--it seems that people who regularly imbibe small doses of alcohol, whether in red wine or other drinks, live longer.
