Your friend has been taking nutritional supplements to "make up for" his less-than-ideal nutritional habits. He says that it is impossible to get too many vitamins and minerals through taking supplement pills. Develop an argument to counter your friend's thinking from a health perspective.
What will be an ideal response?
Include the notion that "more is no better" when it comes to certain vitamins and minerals and that, with certain micronutrients, excessive intakes can be toxic. Specific examples would include fat-soluble vitamins, which can be stored in the body, and excessive calcium, with its link to possible kidney damage. Also indicate that Dietary Reference Intakes include limits on micronutrients called Tolerable Upper Intake Levels (UL) for this reason.
