If I drink too many glasses of Orange Juice will the Vitamin C quantity be harmful?


If one glass has 100% vitamin C, then would drinking 3 or 4 glasses be bad for you? What if you drank like a bottle and a half during the course of a day?

  1. nope, it won’t hurt you =]

  2. no, it’s fine. =]

  3. no harm. the body merely throws away any excess vitamin C it doesn’t need.

    the only "harm" I ever heard of was a person who took 10 GRAMS of Vit C for years, suddenly stopped it & developed scurvy. apparently, his body got used to that mega dose. however, there is not nearly that level of dose in a carton of OJ. enjoy your juice!

  4. too much of anything can be harmful to your health, whether its water or caffeine or anything else. You should definitely lay off the O.J. a bit, but i don’t think you have anything to worry about. Drink a gallon of water within the next 12 hours to dilute it a bit, but i would say you are clear.

  5. Your typical Vitamin C tablet is 300% to 1000% of your RDA. You can drink all the OJ you want. Just realize that there’s a high sugar content in that OJ.
