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.
