So dangerously short and sweet it may as well be powdered.


A short blog today, as I have much to write and much to think on.  I anticipate a very frustrating day of me trying to be smarter than I am. The more you try, the farther away the goal becomes.  Or something.

In new news, I’m slowly killing myself with vitamins.  Glad I found that out.  As a last ditch effort to maintain my healthy ways, I’ve been drinking Emergen-cee powdered vitamin supplements.  It comes in various flavors and is delicious.  I mix two packets in a big ass bottle of SmartWater and drink and refill it a few times throughout the day.  Sounds great, right? 
Well, each packet contains 1,666% of your daily value of vitamin C, or 1000 mg.  At the behest of my friends, I looked up the recommended daily value and it’s somewhere around 500mg.  The article I googled continued, to my horror, to suggest that there are health risks associated with overdosing on vitamin C.   My DNA could potentially begin to change.  Evidently, 6000-7000 mg of vitamin C really is too much of a good thing. 
 So that’s cool.
