As you noted "poison" is not a standardized term around the globe. Even in the US where I live there are notations on some things about possible toxicity - how much of that is protection against legal action? Many foods one could eat are possibly toxic in certain quantities. Societies where a  food has historicaly been eaten a certain way - I lean to that experience.  Apricot kernels anyone? What foods are you interested in? Quantity ingested v. body mass is certainy a factor. As to fermentation - well us non scoence humans have been fermenting/preserving for ages . My dad in his poor household in Croatia had the salt pork and the fermented cabbage all winter - made per the verbal passed down formulas. He is coming up on 101. and still a vocal PITA
