No man, woman or child died from nutritional supplements. Period. Quoting from: http://whfoods.org/genpage.php?tname=nutrient&dbid=70 Iron poisoning, caused by acute ingestion of large quantities of iron-containing supplements, causes nausea, vomiting, damage to the lining of the intestinal tract, shock, and liver failure, and is a leading cause of death among children. Quoting from: http://www.upstate.edu/poison/pdf/pp...s,%2520etc.pdf Do you take vitamins or iron supplements?

Quoting from: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC156684/ Iron is a leading cause of death due to poisoning in young children. Because perinatal iron therapy is common, the presence of these tablets, which have a candylike appearence, in the home may pose a hazard to a mother's other young children. Quoting from: http://www.calpoison.org/hcp/2003/callusvol1no3.html From 1999-2001, 10852 cases of iron poisoning were reported to the American Association of Poison Control Centers (AAPCC), with 60% occurring in children under the age of 6 years. Patients presenting to heath care facilities with minor symptoms of poisoning accounted for 75% of cases; patients with moderate symptoms accounted for 21.5% of cases; and patients with severe symptoms accounted for 2.5% of cases, and there were 3 deaths. |
