"Conspiracy Theory", do you use this term loosely in everyday discourse? Like, "Spinach is very healthy, that's just a Conspiracy Theory..."

If so, can you give examples?
...
Or do you rather use it only for CTs in a narrow sense like 9/11.

@PUH_ther @academicchatter I don't. Claims like "vitamin C boosts immunity" or "red wine gives longevity" I just call unfounded claims or misunderstanding of science, even though there are financial interests behind them and keep conspiracy theories only for 9/11 or vaccines and 5G stuff. BTW, vegetables, including spinach, are really very healthy.
