The human body (through evolution) only cares about long term effects for the human species.
The actual human might care about pain. Therefore, I don't think that the advice is necessarily bad.

Thank you for calling me uninformed and idiotic.
Practices like this stick around because of the desire to be seen making proactive recommendations with putative benefit.
