Do too many antioxidants cause more harm than good?!
Answers: I don't know how much i believe this but i read that too many antioxidants can do just as much bad as it can good if you consume too much.I'm vegan and obviously fruits and veggies,etc. have lots of antioxidants.
Yes if you take them in pill form, but not if you eat just fruits and vegetables.

Fat soluable vitamins can reach a toxicity level.
Vitamin A, D, E and K are fat soluable, A and E are considered antioxidants. I never heard of anyone getting vitamin D or E toxicity but I have heard of people getting too much A or K.
However, I have never heard of anyone getting any kind of vitamin toxicity if they got the vitamins from food. I'd be especially careful of taking "megadoses" of vitamin A in pill form.
Taking excessive amounts of water soluable vitamins such as C and the B vitamins is not likely to hurt anybody, but it won't be any better than taking the normal amount. It would also be a waste of money spent on vitamins. Water soluable vitamins are excreted in urine when the body has more than it needs.
