How these lines are sourced
Three kinds of line

- Named by an FDA label or NIH page: quoted word for word from that page. Its severity comes from the source’s wording, not from a study of the pair.
- Predicted from how each works, not established: built from sourced facts about each substance, such as the FDA’s table of enzyme roles. Never rated major.
