The food industry would call it 'a very safe dose'

You want to get rid of your wife. Or your husband. Because you have someone else. Without killing her. Or without wanting to tell her the news. Because you're a coward. You're not very good in bad news conversations, you just want to get rid of the whole situation.
Then there is only one thing to do: slowly poison. It's not going to work with arsenic. That's too fast, and they'll probably check your way. You've seen that in a scary movie before. Kill your wife quickly, mwah. Not a good idea. That must be done slowly.

That's what Koos did, a not-so-good bulb farmer who had been growing bulbs for 25 years and traveled regularly to South America for the bulb business. Out of his childless boring marriage. There, he struck up a relationship with a Chilean woman who was 23 years younger. That's what he wanted to get married to, a chance to get out of the boring city of Lisse and start over! With kids!

The bulb farmer had one small advantage over you and me: he was good at toxins. He had the stuff in the shed. Every day, he put a very small amount of money, the food industry would say “very safe dose” in his wife's coffee. He built it up very slowly. Systematically poison with a very safe dose.
Koos's venom affected Lien's nerve endings, resulting in cramping attacks, breathing difficulties, muscle stiffness and severe gastrointestinal problems.

Lien ended up in the hospital a few times, where, of course, the doctors did not understand what was going on. Nearly dead a few times. Just not enough to really go heaven.

Lien's family eventually became suspicious. Their sister always got along so wonderfully well when their brother-in-law was away. Why was it that Lien was always so smart when Koos was traveling for the bulb business?

Koos was convicted of 6 years in prison. A real story, you can read it in Annejet van der Zijl's book “Murder in the Blood Street”.

The moral of the story: always be honest, of course. And don't start an extramarital affair, let alone kill someone.
But lesson number 2: a substance is harmful. Or non-harmful.
You are pregnant or not.
If you take the very limited 'safe' dose of a harmful substance long enough, you will die. Systematically poison, like Koos did to Lien. Slowly, the string won't break. ...

In doing so, Koos the bulb farmer undermined the Paracelsus theory. It states that the dosage determines whether a substance is toxic or not.
Paracelcus was a famous doctor, philosopher, and theologian and lecturer at leading universities in the 16th century. He stated that the dose determines whether a substance is toxic or not. Everything is toxic in that view, it just depends on the dosage. There is no mention of the inherent harmfulness of a substance.
One drop that hollows out the stone? Paracelsus didn't think about that.

Based on this Parcelcus theory, food manufacturers can keep adding their added chemicals. “They're 100x below the norm of what's toxic.” Not to mention so-called “production agents”, chemicals that do not have to be mentioned on the packaging because the industry has convinced the legislator that they are not toxic at all. To do so, read Joanna Blythman, “Swallow this, serving up the food of industry's darkest secrets”.
The industry has tried very hard to convince the legislator that production agents and added chemicals can't do any harm to public health.” After all, the dosage! ”

Apart from the harmfulness of one particular individual substance, there is also the fact that people have no idea what all the individual substances have on each other and what the consequences will be in the longer term.

But whether you're a bulb grower who systematically poisons his wife, or just eat processed food long enough with “safe” doses of additives, or medicines with “accepted substances”. You're slowly poisoning yourself. Systematically.
