There are some healthy foods that we really can get too much of...
Beware of these potential overdoses that can really do some harm:
* Carrots: Eat too many of them and you’ll wind up with cartonemia, excess blood carotene which can discolor the skin.
* Sushi: Too much raw tuna delivers too much mercury. This can do some serious damage, especially to pregnant women and young children.
* Coffee: Symptoms of caffeine overdose can range from headache and nausea to irregular heartbeat and muscle tremors.
* Star fruit: Most Americans don’t eat enough of them to do any harm, but Southeast Asians and South Americans know too many can cause hiccups and damage to the nervous system.
* Water: Water intoxication can dilute the concentration of sodium in the blood. It’s not necessarily the amount you drink but how fast you drink it.
* Nutmeg: Excessive quantities can lead to anxiety, fear and psychosis.
