Post by: Moosejay on April 19, 2008, 05:13:31 PM: This may sound nuts...but I recall in nutrition class in university learning of a malady called 'hypervitaminA-osis'. Certain cultures were given to eating high amounts of fish eyes...which contain high levels of vitamin A.

This, in turn, would cause, I believe, liver and other prob lems.

I also recall thinking, "Why the F--- are they teaching us this shit?"

Well, now I know. I was able to sort of answer your question.

My tuition dollars working for me....

Exactly. Alcohol and even aspirin in excess can be dangerous. Moderation is key.

vitamine e is also toxic in high doses.

at regularly doses they will prolong yourlife and deficiency will kill you painfully, vision loss among other things.
