yes it's true, 1 carrot or a half cup of nuts will kill you inside of 5 minutes, avoid it at all costs.

Depends on dose. They are fat soluble. Prob just he government's way of trying to scare the public into thinking that need a script to be safe.

Vit E 400 to 600 iu is good daily dose. A around 5000 iu. I go 5000 mg of C daily.

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.

Strange, Squad...wheat bread, Carrots and apples give me the hiccups...anyone know why?

vitamine a is stored in the cells of ito in the liver and is toxic in high doses, however beta carotene which is in carrots etc converts to retinol(vitamin a) but is under enzymatic control and cannot be forced, so high doses of this are very safe, except for possible pro oxidant effects

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.
