This is complete bs. You will die if you take a bottle of tylenol. You will not die if you take a bottle of vitamin c.

Yes certain vitamins when taken in excessively large and unusual doses can cause problems, but most do not.

The big difference is that government does track “vitamin deaths” each year and most years it is ZERO, a few have one or two, and they are asterisked because the evidence linking them to the death is speculative at best. Compare this to the thousands of people that die from prescription drugs.

It’s a scare piece, a hit piece against people who want to use vitamins to supplement their health because it is a form of independence and it is very safe and easy. The RDA min requirements are set so low, they are absolute bare minimums. They are not optimal values for best health.

Apples and oranges.......

You'll lose a headache with two Tylenols, you'll keep your headache with two vitamin C's.........
