藥補不如食補
We are usually worried about not getting enough vitamins, but is it possible to ever take too many?
我們常擔心攝取維他命的量不夠，但有沒有可能攝取的維他命其實「太多了」？
Turns out, it is. People can often overdose on certain fat-soluble vitamins if they use supplements.
答案是有可能的。人們常常因服用營養補充品，而過量攝取某些脂溶性維生素。

While it is hard to overdose on such vitamins by just eating a natural, well-balanced diet, routinely taking in mega doses of vitamin supplements can result in extremely high, toxic levels of fat-soluble vitamins.
雖然光是自然、均衡的飲食不太容易造成維他命攝取過量，但經常大量服用維他命補充品可能會使得脂溶性維生素的含量達到過量、有毒的程度。

Unlike water-soluble vitamins, including vitamin B and C, which travel freely through the body, and excess amounts usually excreted by the kidneys, fat-soluble vitamins, which include vitamin A, D, E and K, are not easily cleared out by the kidneys, so they tend to accumulate faster.
水溶性維他命，包括維他命B和C，可以自由地通過人體，過量的水溶性維他命通常會經由腎臟排出。相較之下，脂溶性維他命，包括維他命A、D、E、K則不容易由腎臟代謝，所以累積的速度通常比較快。
water-soluble vitamin 水溶性維他命excess(adj.)過多的;多餘的;額外的=extraexcrete(v.)排泄accumulate(v.)累積=pile up
Overdosing becomes even more dangerous when you try to supplement your body with specific vitamins, rather than an overall multivitamin recommended by your physician or dietitian.
如果只使用特定維他命補充營養，而不是服用醫生或營養師推薦的綜合維他命，過度攝取的風險會變得更高。
supplement(v.)補充rather than而不是=instead of~dietician(n.)營養師
For example, an overdose of vitamin A could lead to problems such as confusion and lethargy and could also have adverse effects on your heart as well as bone health.
舉例來說，過量攝取維他命A會造成意識混亂和昏睡，也可能對心臟和骨骼健康產生負面影響。
lethargy(n.)昏睡;無力adverse(adj.) 不利的、負面的=negativehave an effect on~對…造成影響
An excess of vitamin D leads to problems such as dehydration, excess urination, kidney stones and confusion owing to high calcium levels in the body.
維他命D攝取過多則會因體內鈣濃度過高，而導致脫水、頻尿、腎結石、意識混亂等問題。
excess(n.)過量;過多(adj.)過多的;多餘的;額外的dehydration(n.)脫水excess urination頻尿kidney stones腎結石owing to~因為=due to~
Researchers suggest that people should consult with their doctors about any supplement they are taking in order to keep doses within a safe range.
研究者建議人們在使用營養補充品前，應該要諮詢醫師，好把劑量控制在安全的範圍之內。

Eating a varied nutritious diet is still the best source of any vitamin or mineral.
多樣、營養的飲食還是最好的維他命及礦物質的來源。
varied(adj.)各種各樣的nutritious(adj.)有營養的
