That’s why logic is superior to many “scientific” studies.

It’s clear that the environment we evolved in lacked much alcohol, therefore studies showing alcohol is healthy should be taken with a grain of salt.

It’s clear that the environment we evolved in lacked much penicillin, therefore studies showing use of penicillin is healthy should be taken with a grain of salt.

To be clear, over usage of antibiotics is a MASSIVE health issue. Penicillin was an amazing discovery, but less than 100 years later we’re discovering antibiotic resistance and lifelong gut issues due to antibiotic usage.

How do you know that this is a massive health issue? What pure logic brought you to that conclusion?
