I knew a guy who used to buy an oriental energy boost drink mix. It contained 15,000% the rda of one of the B vitamins. Only side effect I noticed was that he bought a Buick and became a Buddhist.
and I have a peel instead of skin and I have a navel so I must be seedless and the citric acid has dissolved my teeth and my urinary tract is full of pulp.Chaotic42 said:I used to drink one of those 96oz jugs of OJ everyday after work. My cholesterol is low and I'm fine.

Moonbear said:I hope you were joking with that. I checked out that site, and there are more than a few alarming red flags there! It's really a scary site, because they use real science articles and then twist and distort the findings so it almost sounds true.
Linus Pauling was, according to many, the greatest chemist ever. He discovered most of what is written in chemistry textbooks today.
Herb said:You serious? I wasn't joking. I tried to get some feedback from people familiar with this stuff but i didn't get any responses. What are the obvious red flags you saw? It just looked so convincing to me. I hope it's not anything i already tried
Moonbear said:One that jumps right out is their endorsement of eating raw eggs and fish. While you can take precautions to make sure the eggs and fish are fresh, you can't guarantee they won't have bacterial contamination. When you follow links throughout their site, they try to tell you things like salmonella aren't a risk of eating raw foods. That's just plain wrong.
They also had some screwy stuff on endocrinology in another part of that site.
While vitamin C is an essential nutrient for our body, consuming too much of it can have negative effects on your health. Consuming large doses of vitamin C can cause digestive issues such as diarrhea, nausea, and stomach cramps. It can also increase the risk of developing kidney stones.
The recommended daily intake of vitamin C varies depending on age and gender. For adults, the recommended daily intake is 75-90 mg. However, pregnant and breastfeeding women may need higher doses of vitamin C. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the right amount for your body.
Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin, meaning our body can easily eliminate any excess through urine. Therefore, it is rare to experience toxicity from consuming too much vitamin C through food sources. However, taking high doses of vitamin C supplements can lead to toxicity, which can cause symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and kidney problems.
Vitamin C can interact with certain medications, such as blood thinners and chemotherapy drugs. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional before taking high doses of vitamin C supplements if you are on any medications to avoid any potential interactions.
While vitamin C is beneficial for our health, consuming large doses does not provide any additional benefits. Our body can only absorb a certain amount of vitamin C at a time, and any excess is eliminated. Consuming more than the recommended daily intake will not provide any extra benefits and can potentially cause negative effects on your health.
