you have been consuming a lot of spinach lately. you wonder if eating too much vitamin k is harmful. which value would you need to evaluate?

al (adequate intake)

rda (recommended dietary allowance)

ul (tolerable upper intake level)

ear (estimated average requirement)

Explanation:

To determine if eating too much Vitamin K (from spinach) is harmful, we need the value that defines the maximum amount of a nutrient that can be taken without adverse effects. UL (Tolerable Upper Intake Level) is the highest daily intake level of a nutrient that is likely to pose no risk of adverse health effects for almost all individuals in the general population. AI is for when RDA can't be determined, RDA is for average daily intake to meet needs, and EAR is the average requirement for a group. So UL is the relevant value here.

Answer:

C. UL (Tolerable Upper Intake Level)
