    Not that I'm even about to get into a political argument on MFP, but your comment, in my entitled opinion, is the stupidest **** I have ever read in my entire life....and that's saying a lot, just so you know.

    Not really. Generally your body will use what it needs and flush the rest.
    Untrue. Vitamin D for instance is toxic in overdose, so care should be taken.

    Why are you taking two multivitamins? Unless they are multivitamin and mineral, containing a lot of calcuim, they are almost always one a day.

    You would need to take 100 times the recommended dose of Vitamin D every day for several months in order to see any type of toxic effect. Toxic effects have only been shown in doses higher than 50,000 IU's a day for several months, and some studies have shown no toxic effects at high doses. Too little or too much of anything can be a bad thing.

    Also, a lot of the better multivitamins break their daily doses into several a day.

    I'm not liberal or conservative...but more importantly, I'm not stupid!
