If this were true, taking 2,000 IU of vitamin D would kill you dead instead of being good for you.

As the old saying goes "The dose makes the poison."

I distill all my drinking water. I live downstream from a uranium processing plant. Filters on the shower heads too. Don't worry the EPA will use your tax dollars to clean it up. Oh wait, it is our money...

This came up in the movie Gasland. As it turned out, the homeowner's well went right through a naturally occurring pocket of methane though that part didn't make the news.

Is this a "thing"?
