If you take too many water-soluble vitamins, is that toxic to your body?

Question

1)If you take too many water-soluble vitamins, is that toxic to your body?
2) does 1 gram of protein exactly = 1 gram of Carbs
3)is it recommended to have less than 10% of your calories to be fats?

on my test I got
1) yes
2) no
3) yes
(i failed)
Yet i still think they are right... for the most part.
If you could please provide me information about these 3 questions I would really appreciate it- So either i can go in and talk to my teacher or if all my answers are wrong keep me from arguing with him...
Please provide valid information!
THANKS!!! :)

if so, what water solble vitamins are toxic

Answer 1

1) You will urinate the excess vitamins that you take in. Fat soluable vitamins taken in excess are toxic
2) both are 4 calories
3) it is recommended to have less than 30% of calories to be fats (less than 10% for saturated fats)

Answer 2

The toxic vitamins, in high doses are vitamin A, (fat soluble), (which can poison), massive doses of vitamin B6, (water soluble), which can cause irreversable nerve damage. B3 (water soluble), can cause flushing and skin symptoms, but they are not drastic.
Protein have different functions for the body than carbs. Proteins are used for building chemicals like new proteins and nucleic acids and enzymes. Protein digestion requires the body to get rid of excess notrogen compounds through the kidneys and bladder. Carbohydrates are metabolised into glucose or pyruvic acid and are used or strored on the body as glycogen in the liver.
Fats are stored directly as fats in human tissues when not immediately used or needed. Fat intale levels are usually higher like 15%. even 20%. 10% is a little low. Too much fat can result in high blood levels of low density lipoproteins, ( high density lipoproteins. (lipo.. or lipid are other words for fats, as are triglycerides.) Too much of the first and last of these, in the blood, are not good as they can be deposited on arterial walls as plaques, leading to atherosclerosis, and heart problems.
Hope that helps.

Answer 3

1. No. Excess water soluble vitamins are taken from the body via the urinary tract.
2. Yes they may be different but they are both 7 cal per gram.
3. NO your body requires fat for some of it's functions and you shouldn't go below 15%

Answer 4

As far as the water soluble vitamins, intake in excess of your daily needs is excreted from the body in urine. They don't build up in your body the way fat soluble vitamins will.

I can't say that it's 100% impossible to consume toxic levels of water soluble vitamins, but basically it's not something you do unintentionally.

Answer 5

1. Yes, some water-soluble vitamins can be toxic. Fat-soluble are more dangerous if you OD, though. It's less likely, but not impossible.

2. No. Only in calorie content are they equal.

3. No, your body still needs fats. I think it's more like 20-30%, but it is over 10%.

Answer 6

If you know of a scientific site on the web, you should probably go there and look up how they make vitamins and supplements. After finding out how they are made you will in all probability never use them again for anything.

Answer 7

a vitamin that is water soluble is just that , your body washes it through when you take more than it needs and does not use it , the body just eliminates it.

Answer 8

Not if they are truly water soluble. You will urinate the excess.

Answer 9

hmm i like to mole mole!

Answer 10
