Many substances have been in our environment for millions of years. Lead has been around for ages. A substance being "natural" or having been around for 100,000+ years does not necessarily correlate to safe.
I would far more trust a new substance that has been tested thoughtfully.

I would prefer older substances that have a large battery of testing. This time also allows some group-think or other new product bias to dissipate.
