Vitamins are compounds that are needed for metabolism, and are usually obtained in foods. Vitamin D is produced by sunlight on the skin and often added to milk. A well rounded diet contains all the vitamins and minerals necessary. An oversupply of water soluble vitamins (B's C) is washed out in the urine as evidenced by yellow urine. Not harmful to the body, but unhealthy to the wallet as you are just pissing away your money. However fat soluble vitamins (A D E K) remain in the body and can be unhealthy.
A rule of thumb is to choose the freshest fruits and veggies with the deepest colors such as tomatoes, red peppers, broccoli. Oranges are generally dyed so don't go by that. Wash the fruit just before eating as it will spoil quicker if left sitting. Strawberries, blueberries, Have high amounts of antitoxins. Avoid pealing fruits and potatoes as in the case of apples where most of the nutrients are in the skin.
