Sorry, but the website you linked is rather full of alarmism and inaccuracies, and short of concrete knowledge. For instance, in the second section:

While Risk Assessment is a legitimate science (it is a branch of toxicology), it is the wrong science for assessing nutrients! In fact, in this context, it is actually junk science. Biochemistry, the science of life processes, is the correct science for assessing nutrients. Codex Alimentarius treats nutrients as toxins, which is literally insane.

My PhD is in Biochemistry/Molecular Biology. However, I am as likely to tell people that I am a Toxicologist. The training is not radically different, nor are the disciplines mutually exclusive. Furthermore, it is completely appropriate to characterize the toxic profiles of presumably "safe" nutrients. There are many minerals necessary for health that are poisonous in high quantity: you cannot live without salt, but eating a pound of it will probably kill you.

I did not read past the second section.
