Your claim of poisoning is well taken. Picture this: the human body can assimilate a very tiny amount of potassium cyanide without causing death. Am I advocating that experiment? Absolutely not! B vitamins are things that keep us functioning and alive, but like anything else, there is a toxic threshold. I apologize for implying the opposite.
I will stand by what I meant to say and said so poorly, though. B vitamins are not usual poisons. Improper implementation of megadose this or megadose that, is ill advised. First get a liver function screen, especially if you like drinking that known poison, ethyl alcohol; booze.
The B vitamins by themselves are not poisons to the average normal active adult. Please reread my total article with the objective view that I am 4-square against single supplement megadoses. I am also an advocate of timed dosage, i.e. twice daily for most supplements, and hourly for eight hours with vitamin C megadosing.
Communication is something I work on hourly and your points, well taken, drive it home clearly to me that at times I'm not careful about what I say and write. I get away with rewrites for articles and manuscripts but continue to mess-up and struggle with interpersonals.
