What's with the fear of man-made products/foods

I view nutrition very similarly to Pascal’s Wager, but change the axis whatever the specific thing is

Obviously there is a very wide variance in the amount of evidence for how certain nutrients affect your body. Alcohol has a ton of evidence where too much is bad for you (you die) and there is limited to no evidence it’s beneficial.

Since the “eternal question” for nutrition is very difficult to answer, especially from an individual response perspective, I simply want to maximize the amount of time I spent on the top half of the chart, and minimize the amount of time I spend on the bottom half of the chart.
