Beware of modern science. There is a tendency to leap into the current theories being promoted as though they express the whole truth. Modern science is outdated every ten years, replaced by newer, still incomplete information. Modern science still tells us that pesticides in reasonable doses are safe. Use common sense and intuition.
Moderation is the safest approach unless a person is guided by an expert in the field.
