vit A-how much is too much?

so I'm still getting over my food aversions.... this weekend, I bought sweet potatoes and 2 cantaloupes to munch on during the week.

I ate one cantaloupe over the weekend, and had a sweet potato with dinner tonight

It just dawned on me now.... I think I'm eating too much Vit A!

I will avoid eating orange food for several days now, but I hope I didn't do any damage..... anyone's Dr's ever speak to you about this?

Re: vit A-how much is too much?

birth defects.... of the head, face, nervous system


I DID just do a search and found out that that birth defects are linked to retinol (animal /vitamin derived vit A).... while plant vit a (beta carotene) may not be linked to the birth defects....

I still don't trust it... I'm avoiding orange food for several days!
