Greatly exceeding the recommended daily intake of vitamins A and D is dangerous, for they can be toxic at high levels. For some vitamin-fortified foods, each serving, as defined by the manufacturer, has 100 percent of the recommended daily intake of these vitamins. But many people overestimate what counts as a standard serving of vitamin-fortified foods such as cereal, consuming two to three times what the manufacturers define as standard servings.

Summary
Vitamins A and D can be toxic at high levels, meaning it can be dangerous to greatly exceed recommended daily intake. Some vitamin-fortified foods have 100 percent of the daily intake of both vitamins. Many people overestimate what counts as a serving of these foods. Many people will consume two to three times the manufacturer-defined serving size.

Strongly Supported Conclusions
Some people who eat vitamin-fortified food are exceeding the recommended daily intake of vitamins A and D by eating two to three times the serving size.

A
Few people who consume vitamin-fortified foods are aware of the recommended daily intake of vitamins A and D.
This is unsupported because we aren’t given any information about the mental state or knowledge of people consuming fortified foods. We don’t know how many are aware of the excessive levels of vitamin A and D.
B
Some people who consume vitamin-fortified foods exceed the recommended daily intake of vitamins A and D.
This is strongly supported because we are told that some people exceed more than one serving of these foods daily, and each serving can contain 100 percent of the recommended daily levels of vitamins A and D.
C
Some people mistakenly believe it is healthy to consume more than the recommended daily intake of vitamins A and D.
This is unsupported because we are not told anything about what people know or believe.
D
Most people who eat vitamin-fortified foods should not take any vitamin supplements.
This is unsupported because people who eat vitamin fortified foods may eat less than a serving per day, which would warrant supplements. It is also possible that people should take vitamin supplements for those vitamins not included in the vitamin-fortified foods.
E
Manufacturers are unaware that many people consume vitamin-fortified foods in amounts greater than the standard serving sizes.
This is unsupported because we are not told anything about the knowledge or awareness of manufacturers regarding how consumers eat their foods.
