Jamie Clark74 said:The most consumed vitamins globally tend to be Vitamin C and Vitamin E. Vitamin C: RDI...recommended at about 30-40mg typical diet provides...roughly 64-160mg maximum supplement amount.....1000mg.
I believe you mean RDA, though I suppose it's a minor distinction. 😬 As for the maximum supplement limit for Vitamin C—before one actually encounters toxicity—it is significantly higher than just 1 gram. Personally, I take somewhere in the range of 3 to 5 grams of Vitamin C daily, and I haven't experienced any digestive distress from it, nor have I noticed an increase in gas or anything of that nature. 😬
Megan Reed said:you haven't even started looking into protein powder yet. 😁
I suppose I haven't... I just don't really have the desire to consume 15 grams of powder every single day—mostly due to the cost, I guess. 😬 (financial reasons)
steelviper6 said:I see... 😁 Since I have been taking roughly 1000% of the RDA for Vitamin C every single day this past week. 😁
Personally, I aim for about 3 to 5 grams of Vitamin C daily—and since the RDA suggests only 60 mg, I suppose I am consuming upwards of 8000% more than that. 😬
It really depends on which one we are talking about... I suppose you could probably load up on vitamin C like a beast and feel perfectly fine. 😬 Vitamin C is actually one of those more stable substances—though, naturally, even it has its limits. There are certain vitamins (I can't recall exactly which ones) that are absolutely essential in tiny amounts, yet become outright toxic if you take too much. It is also quite important to consider whether they are fat-soluble or water-soluble; if someone has a higher body fat percentage and overdoes it with fat-soluble vitamins, then losing weight rapidly could lead to some rather unpleasant complications. One shouldn't play fast and loose with vitamin supplementation...

It’ll show you both men and women performing various routines. If you select the male instructor, for instance, you can find specific leg workouts among the options. It's actually quite helpful because there are illustrations and detailed instructions on how to maintain proper form. 👍
Arthur Barnes said:I was looking through the penal code earlier and found this:
Assisted Suicide / Requested Killing
Section 94.
Anyone who kills another person at their explicit and serious request shall be punished by imprisonment for a term of one to eight years.
My goodness, I think this might be one of the most nonsensical laws I have ever encountered. 😲
If my neighbor Mark were to come over—and I would make sure to record both audio and video of him stating clearly that he wants me to kill him—and if he were completely serious and composed, and then I actually went through with it... I would end up serving 8 years in prison just for honoring someone's wish. That is, provided that his wish doesn't harm anyone else besides himself, which he has consciously accepted and still insists upon.
What is the actual origin of this statute, and why does the legal system operate this way? Does anyone here see any logic in this? To me, it seems quite foolish, I suppose.
Actually, that law makes sense... imagine if Person X wanted to kill Person Y and kidnapped them instead. Person X could threaten Person Y, forcing them to state on camera that they want to die, or else Person X will murder Person Y's entire family. Person Y would (naturally) comply and then be killed, and without this specific law, there would be a recording providing an "escape route" for Person X. Without such a law, someone could essentially kill whoever they wanted without facing consequences...

Personally, I think it might be more practical to cook a decent meal for yourself during the time you would have spent at the clinic. 😁
The second I saw this thread title, "Orion" was the first thing that popped into my head.
So, I suppose I agree! My vote goes to Orion. I guess the beginning of the track up until about the midpoint might feel a bit tedious—perhaps even a little boring—but once those solos actually kick in... 😎
Goodness... I find it quite fascinating when people start debating the merits of "natural" versus "synthetic" vitamins—as if the mere label of being "artificial" somehow makes them inherently harmful! 🤣
In my view, burning and liquid nitrogen don't really go hand in hand—it seems somewhat contradictory. Perhaps you meant cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen followed by a cauterization treatment? I guess that would make more sense.

Of course, there could be variations. The timeframe would be, say, roughly one to two years, depending on their prior physical and mental state. What are your thoughts?
Now you're exaggerating... tooth loss?? We are talking about dark chocolate here, not some cheap candy bar from a gas station!
One really must take into account the specific type of chocolate being discussed—whether it’s a hazelnut variety or perhaps one of those lighter, milkier types—because there is a significant difference there. Furthermore, every chocolate contains milk, which means it inherently provides certain proteins, fats, and vitamins. I suppose it wouldn't be strictly healthy, but if one were to consume massive quantities of chocolate while remaining physically active—to, say, burn off that intense glucose spike—and wasn't just sitting around like a sedentary houseplant, one would likely be getting some nutritional value from the vitamins. I imagine one could probably sustain themselves for quite a while under those circumstances.
If you actually value your health, then you really ought to be eating meat.
There isn't much of an alternative—you should probably start eating meat regardless of how much it might turn your stomach... you mentioned that you eat fish, so perhaps if you started doing that more often, you might eventually grow to prefer it.
driftinggull13 said:For heaven's sake, how on earth could you overdose on vitamins A, D, E, or K—those fat-soluble ones you mentioned—just by drinking Starbucks? How? Seriously, how? I don't see it happening, unless we're talking about Max, because I guess anything is possible with him. 😁 😉
If you’re just drinking Starbucks—assuming you stick to the recommended daily amounts, of course—you certainly can't overdose on vitamins. The levels of vitamins in there are far too low to ever reach toxic levels.
What I find most frustrating is hearing older folks talk about "natural vitamins." At the end of the day, the vitamin itself is identical whether it comes from fruit or a pill.
Sarah Gomez52 said:I find myself drinking bottled water at work too—mostly because the pipes here are so ancient and rusted that I’m worried about all the sediment in the water. At home, though, I just drink straight from the tap; the taste is actually fine, but I do run an Atlanta filter because the limescale buildup is just overwhelming.
An Atlanta filter might help reduce things like chloride, heavy metals, or organic matter... but I suspect it won't really touch the limescale!
