To be honest, I never figured out what the evidence could even look like.

Normally, you would try to falsify the existing theory, but, that is not an option, since it never existed - the proponents came with the claim that it had always been known and insisted relentlessly. It has subtle, nondescript symptoms, the only clear sign of the poisoning is its presence in the blood. There are some other measurable chamges, but that would only get stuck on me claiming that it proves its essentiality, vs you claiming that it proves the poisoning. All the evidence like the presence in bones, 250kyo neanderthal teeth, phosphates, coal and so on has supposedly been somehow proven irrelevant. The lack of improved health and intellect, rather the increasingly undeniable presence of the inverse is being ignored. It's essentially unfalsifiable.
