Yeah, we've got those who promise themselves health benefits from drinking raw milk. I have the impression that this is mostly prevalent in esoteric people, as usual with such stuff.

But such beneficial claims of raw milk consumption appear to be not scientifically sound and are a myth.

esoteric people

Believe it or not, they have dictionaries online now.

Isn't "esoteric people" an accurate description?

Eh. It would imply those people are mysterious or difficult to understand. They're not, they're just stupid.

Hm okay. English is not my native language. I've checked this with a dictionary and found it to be an adequate description, even discussed this with ChatGPT. It pointed out that this can also be understood in the way you've described it.

What I meant were people who practise in esotericism, like briefly described here. Besides "stupid", what do you suggest to describe such people?

Also, thanks for pointing that out!
