this huge amount of water in their
backpacks and they drink too much.
It can cause swelling in the brain,
seizures and death. There are hun-
dreds of cases of people dying every
year in the United States from water
intoxication. However, you will never
meet a doctor who has ever seen
anybody die from vitamin D intoxi-
cation, unless you are at one of three
universities that I am aware of that
have reported it. It is that uncom-
mon. Very uncommon!
Passwater: The Institute of
Medicine (IOM) whose Food and
Nutrition Board sets the diet recom-
mendations (Dietary Recommended
Intakes) defines its Tolerable Upper
Intake Level (UL) as the highest level
of daily nutrient intake that is likely
to pose no risk of adverse health
effects to almost all individuals in the
general population. The UL repre-
sents total intake from food, water
and supplements. Last year, the IOM
raised its UL for vitamin D to 4,000
IU, whereas the Vitamin D Council
puts its at 10,000 IU.
Cannell: Yes, we say the upper safe
limit should be 10,000 IU. People
have to understand what that means.
The safe upper limit is the amount
that anybody can safely take without
seeing a doctor and without having
any fear that they will be doing
themselves any harm. It is the level
that is safe for healthy individuals to
take. However, if you have sarcoido-
sis (a systemic disease that is charac-
terized by the formation of small
grainy lumps in affected tissue) and
you take 10,000 IU per day, then
you may get profoundly hypercal-
cemic. But, that’s not vitamin D toxi-
city. The toxicity is from the sar-
coidosis, not the vitamin D.
One good thing the Institute of
Medicine did in its 2010 report was
to change the UL from 2,000 to
4,000 IU. Vitamin D researchers all
around the country had been
plagued by the former UL of 2,000
IU as they often could not get
approval to use more than 2,000 IU
of vitamin D for treatment from the
various safety and ethics committees
that overlook research. Now, they
will be able to see an effect from

months. Even in that case, 50,000 IU
a day won’t be toxic for everybody,
not that anybody needs that much.
Vitamin D toxicity has never been
documented to occur at blood levels
less than 200 ng/ml.
When you say toxicity, people have
these visions of being in intensive
care units with vomiting and heart
arrhythmias, and so forth. The first
sign of vitamin D toxicity doesn’t
mean that at all. It merely means
that you feel perfectly fine, but when
you have a blood test, your calcium
level is slightly elevated. This is what
I mean when I say the beginning of
vitamin D toxicity. It is asymptomatic
hypercalcemia.
At this level, it would take years
and years to injure yourself.
One way to think about it is like
water. If you go to your doctor and
ask, “Doctor, have you ever heard of
or seen a patient who has died from
drinking too much water?” Virtually
every doctor will say, “Yes.” Water
intoxication is not uncommon. It is
common in psychiatric patients and
in long-distance runners who have
