If you've ever had gummy vitamin supplements, you will probably also know that they taste pretty good. So since I've been sick, I've been popping them as if they were candy. (I also ate a lot of candy. Nerds, Gobstoppers, JellyBeans, etc...) However, apparently you can technically "overdose" on Vitamin C.

This is the part that bothers me.



I don't want that.

I have stopped my vitamin C addiction as of today since I've had the diarrhea, but that might've been from the fruit sundae I had.

Good day.

Oh balls. I never knew this. Everything has to be consumed in moderation, even the "good" stuff.

Don't say that. I just had 2 pounds of raisins in three days.

In that same article it says:

Any extra vitamin C will simply be flushed out of your body in your urine.

Let that sink in for a moment...

Lack of Vitamin C means scurvy. I don't think extra Vitamin C will harm you, unless your intake is obscenely high.

Yes, like I stated above... the article completely contradicts itself.
idiocy

It's just like, drinking too much water will kill you.
Consuming too much of anything will kill.

Right...but the article tells you how much is considered too much.

Doesn't completely contradict itself, you can experience those symptoms and then have your body flush it, that just means it doesn't store up in your body like other vitamins/etc can.

I don't know if that makes it OK to eat too much Vitamin C.

Its okay as long as you don't eat like, 10k mg of it, at which point you'll probably develop some condition.
