hoffman44 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Found it! Vitamin C Overdose effects: Gastrointestinal upset Please don't quote wikipedia, quote a medical journal or something. Bear in mind this is in the case of Extreme overdose. I'm kind of tired of explaining it, but Wikipedia itself is not the source of information. If you read the post, I said it has some pretty reliable sources, about 100 of them. Here's some http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Pars ... PN/5278189 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17297243 Even extremely high dosages of vitamin C are used as a partial treatment for multiple diseases and have been approved for nearly 2 decades. I never said overly high doses are bad, but vitamin C taken in extreme amounts still has side-effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLancer Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 You're right, and I hope no parent is dumb enough to give dozens of vitamin pills to their kid every day just for the sake of 'eating vitamins' :lol: Still, the risk is minimal.. Just like bubble gum says excessive use may have laxative side effects. That will only happen if you eat like 8 packs of bubble gum at once... Few people do that, I'd dare to say. But you can't die by VC overdose (... Or bubblegum) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenin64 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Laxatives come from chewing bubble gum? :| Command the Murderous Chalices!

VjuliusT Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Some bubble/chewing gum include a substance that's also in toothpaste (Forgot the word and my mum is a dentist, I phial) which makes your stomach go fail (From unusual amounts), It can also corrode glass when it's Concentrated.

Just kidding, he very possibly vomited blood, as well as suffering erectile dysfunction (ever notice how that's a side effect of next to everything nowadays? :( ). :lol: What's the point of these drinks? Seriously? Mountain Dew, etc, I can understand. But this is pushing it. If you need to stay awake for a short amount of time, let's say, two hours, a normal energy drink is fine. If you are still tired after that, you really need to get some shut eye. It's people that drink this, that end up on 5:00 news, for 42 hours of straight driving, and they wonder why they have been mistaken for being intoxicated. :shame: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nadril Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I just drink them becuase they make everything around me look "cool" if I consume a lot. Just take a normal [bleep]ing psychedelic drug instead of hyping yourself up on dangerous levels of caffeine. Chances are the drug will be safer and have a much, much more profound effect.

Orpheus Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Every now and then, i'll probably drink an energy drink if I am thirsty, or need a quick boost for something. Otherwise it's water or tea for me. I was going to eat hot dogs for dinner tonight. I think I will settle for cereal. OPEN WIDE HERE COMES THE HELICOPTER.

There is no logic that man may name his own that would permit those levels to exist in a drink. I highly doubt they are serving an energy drink in >3L bottles. I guess maybe its meant to be mg? What size is a serving? Energy drinks don't do anything for me. I've previously only ever had them as a mixer for alcohol. I tried them whilst studying for my exams this semester, mix of v and redbull and didn't notice anything, I still felt just as tired. I don't mind the taste, but quite frankly they are a lot of money for no effect. The only time I consumed a vast amount was in combination with jaga and the amount of sugar they contain just gets sickening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd be drinking about 20-50 cans of energy drink cans in that timeframe, I somehow doubt that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
