Consuming too much?

well, here's my non-scientific generic answer

vitamins A C E are excreted out in urine when in excess as they are water soluble.

Vitamins D E and K and calcium would be stored in the fat when in excess. E in excess can make your blood thin, K can cause clotting. Calcium is good and is D and i can't imagine you'd consume too much unless you drank a whole cow...

too much sugar you get hyper then crash like a crazy 2 year old on m&m's, too much carbs you get energy fast then crash (similar to sugar) and too much protein can make you feel sluggish. too much sodium and you get bloated, good luck having too much potassium. although i guess if you did your heart could stop as your NaK+ pump stops working (hello basic anatomy, i may have quoted you wrong!) lol!

What happens if you consume too much sodium, sugar, and carbs?

Sodium- hypernatremia, which causes edema or swelling, or bloated-ness.
Sugar - constant excess is bad, but when its every now and then, your pancreas are well equipped to release enough insulin to take care of it
Carbs- in excess will be stored in the body, hence you gain weight with extra. Depending on what kind, but complex carbs will give you "fuel" so you don't ever hit a wall

What happens if you consume too little Vitamin A? - eh. this rarely happens in america. A lot of american foods are enriched
Vitamin C? - rickets if not enough. And a low immune system
Calcium? - weak bones, hypocalcemia which can cause seizures and heartbeat problems
Iron? - anemia, because iron is what your body uses to make blood cells. It is also used by the body to repair muscles
Protein? - atrophy among other things. You NEED protein
Potassium? -its another REALLY important intracellular element, (with sodium being the extracellular) so it will cause nerve/heart problems

But really, these deficiency problems are rarely seen in America.. well except for calcium and iron and what not
Im a nursing student so i really enjoyed answering this question hahaha sorry if its a little overboard

Just a couple of weeks ago my doctor said a recent study has found that if you consume too much calcium it can end up in calcium deposits in your circulatory system = not a good thing. She said they're trying to get the word out about revised calcium recommended amounts for people. I don't know the amount they're advising for all different kinds of people (male, female, pregnant, nursing, etc) just what she told me for my situation is not to go over 1200 mg from all sources, per day.

Not for one day. But I wouldn't drink a ton of milk every day. Drink more water instead.

I just want to add one thing that seems to have been forgotten: most kidney stones are made up of calcium, among other minerals. Too much calcium increases your odds of getting kidney stones, which is no fun for anyone. Water is better for adults than milk is.

To quote Arnold Schwarzenegger: "Milk is for babies!"

Then again, cereal and water just doesn't sound very appetizing does it? Lol.

About losing sodium...it can be lost through sweat, so I guess it's kinda burned off, though it really isn't, more like lost. Which is why Gatorade tries to replenish electrolytes like that during strenuous workouts.
