Anyone else frustrated because they don't know wtf they can eat?

Question

I am making a corn chowder and added a bay leaf to it. After a few minutes I thought I'd look up the safety info. Turns out bay leafs are a no go. Obviously I pulled it out of my soup and it simmered for less than 5 minutes but come on. I've used it before, so now I'm stressed. 
Don't eat to much of this, you can't eat that, did you peal this? Avoid the microwave. It's just too much.

Answer

I don't put a lot of stock into all of that, and my doctor doesn't either. She said to avoid certain types of fish only because of mercury content, and don't eat raw or undercooked meats of any kind because of the risk of e-coli and salmonella. She also told me to wash my fruits and veggies and heat up any lunch meats I choose to avoid listeria. Other than that, she said pretty much everything else is safe. I wouldn't be worried about using a bay leaf.
