Sharing this here because it makes fun of rationalists:

"Consumer Reports’ results also fit in with a large grifting industry that includes a lot of influencers. These influencers frequently go out and use poor testing instruments and inconsistent and unreliable testing methodologies on every product under the sun, in order to claim that those products contain harmful levels of different chemicals that consumers should avoid. Some of the worst examples of this include blackmailing companies to not report results. Others just scare the public. If all these claimed lead exposure levels from different foodstuffs were truly correct, that would show up in NHANES data, but it doesn’t. So take all of these results with a pinch of salt."
