Yet you are unavoidably eating micro-plastics too, which have been linked to adverse CV events.

Also:

- If you are eating more fish (as opposed to eating meat), you are likely consuming more mercury.

- If you are eating more fresh veggies you are probably ingesting more pesticides.

- If you are easting dark chocolate for its health benefits, you are also ingesting cadmium and other heavy metals.

So all the above should be done in moderation. Even things that seem like unalloyed good can be dangerous. A burst of exercise beyond your conditioning can lead to a CV event. Too much water can be poisonous. Some people get constipation for too much veggies in their diet.

For example, instead to sticking to a narrow faddish supposedly healthy diet, you can enjoy a wide range of foods, which will make it more likely you are getting all the nutrients that will do you good (of course clearly unhealthy food should be avoided).

The body is more complex than we can ever know. There are some general principles for good health (including CV health) that should be followed, but to me it is clear that good health does not arise from a slavish devotion to very detailed set of rules.
