i never thought i would be one of those people who took antacids.
but i am. between anti-reducers and vitamins/supplements i am guessing i come in at around 10 pills a day total.
granted. i eat the vitamin c because its delicious, and someday will overdose. okay, i wont- because apparently you cant.
on that note, Ive decided to look up the adverse effects of vitamins:
Vitamin A
Gorging on this vitamin compound in doses of more than 25,000 IUs (five times the RDA) can lead to liver damage, hair loss, blurred vision and headaches.
Bitamin B-6
Ingesting more than 400 mg a day (200 times the RDA) can cause numbness in the mouth and hands and difficulty in walking.
Vitamin C
It was once believed to cause kidney stones, but experts now say there is no solid evidence of dangerous side effects from vitamin C. High doses can produce stomachaches and diarrhea.
Vitamin D
In daily doses of 50,000 IUs (125 times the U.S. RDA), the sunshine vitamin can cause the buildup of calcium deposits that can interfere with the functioning of muscles, including heart tissue. While sunbathing will never create an overdose, taking too many supplements can.
Niacin
Doctors prescribe doses of 2,000 mg (100 times the RDA) to help lower cholesterol. But patients who take that much should be monitored for possible symptoms of jaundice and liver damage.
Iron
Those who want to bolster their red blood cell count, especially elderly people and menstruating women, have been taking iron supplements for years. Daily doses higher than 100 mg (six times the RDA) could interfere with absorption of zinc, a mineral that speeds wound healing and helps regulate the immune system.
that pretty boring. i expected it to be alot worse. eyes falling out of their sockets. exploding bowels. weird growths.
lately every morning when i shortcut through the parking lot on my way to work i see a group of 3 older men drinking beer and leaning against a wall like there isnt anything weird about it. i thought it was soda or something, but after work i inspected it and it was beer cans. the odd thing is that though i continued to see them, they never left a trace after that.
also, my favorite morning occurance is walking by a jeep with a license plate that says "da jeep".
i pretty much hate living in boston and cant wait to leave. i cannot believe how uncomfortable this city makes me feel.
