Wow that must be hell

And must have tasted like highly concentrated rat piss. XD

Even taking more than a knife point renders a complete can undrinkable. Not to speak of 30 fucking grams.

I also had to immediately think of this case.

More often written as 200,000 IU as 5000mg of D3 is not written as 5,000,000mcg

The author simply (and terrible mistaking) typed [mg] instead of [UI] in the first paragraph: if readed entirely, the author correct this typo in every other sentence

Still it needs proof reading and definitely a BIG WARNING that anyone who reads the article should first talk with their doctor before trying any "recommendations". Some of these "recommendations" could literally kill someone.

I bought the once weekly 50,000IU bottle on Amazon and am currently taking 4 a day and I am ignoring all growing signs of vitamin D toxicity because I read this guys blog and never once ever decided to consult another source, including later paragraphs in that same blog because there was no warning. Without a warning, you should blindly follow all medical advice you read online.

That is that pathway to death you are worried about?

I was going to say, wouldn't following through on this mistake require you to not just spend a ton of money on pills but also take tons of them a day? I'd like to think this would give even the dumbest of people pause just because of the practicality aspect.

You might be surprised. Medical journals that specialize in reporting one-off cases have some wild articles.

Why didn't the author notice? AI slop?

doctors prescribe vitamins in MG, but they're sold in IU. It's an easy mistake to make.
