Rudolph’s Cousins
About two years ago, Ian got over dosage of Vit A, as I put too much of carrots in his meals.
Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t do that for the sake of vit A or kiasu. I put carrots because it is easy to keep, adds fibre, and it also tastes good.
Ian’s skin was yellowish, particularly on his nose - with yellow/orange colour (quite funny looking). That prompted me to see doc, afraid of jaundice. Doc confirmed he was over dosage of Vit A, but he said doesn’t matter - just need to cut down.
Few weeks ago, my friend asked for my opinion on a ‘health tips’ her friend gave. She was advised to add some olive oil along with her son’s solids to help with the absorption of vit A.
Whilst it makes sense as vit A is not water solluble, is it necessary to do that?
My doc and I have the same motto: if one is having a balanced diet, no supplement is required.
And true enough, my friend told me yesterday that, without following her friend’s advice, her son is now (already) having the same Vit A overdose syndrome like Ian! Hahaha!
Both Ian and her son are like Rudolph! Very funny!
