Question

multiple choice question
vitamin or mineral toxicity is most likely to result from consuming ______.

○ a balanced multivitamin and mineral supplement
○ a diet predominated by energy - dense foods
○ a variety of nutrient - dense foods
○ individual vitamin and mineral supplements

Explanation:

Balanced multivitamins are formulated to avoid excessive doses. Energy-dense foods typically lack high levels of vitamins/minerals to cause toxicity. Nutrient-dense foods provide vitamins/minerals in natural, safe amounts. Individual supplements, however, can be taken in high, unregulated doses that exceed safe upper limits, leading to toxicity.

Answer:

D. individual vitamin and mineral supplements
