SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATIONS: VITAMIN A OVERDOSE
It is true that excessive amounts of the fat soluble vitamins A and D can cause toxicity in the body but very large amounts must be ingested before any damage is done. Vitamin A toxicity could result from a daily intake of 150 000 iu every day for one or more months, but Formula Six contains only beta Carotene which the body converts to vitamin A. Nature also employs a simple method of warning that toxic levels of vitamin A arc approaching with symptoms of morning sickness and loss of appetite. When the morning sickness symptoms have abated and the appetite and taste for foods containing vitamin A have returned the levels of vitamin A in the body have dropped right down and the toxic slate no longer exists. It would be impossible to eat enough food to provide 150 000 in unless you were eating whale or seal liver each day or you were making a concerted effort to gulp down fifteen 10 000 iu tablets of vitamin A. Both vehicles of vitamin A overdose would prove to be very expensive and chances are you would never persist with the exercise.
