My research question is "What foods can you overdose on and what are the side effects?" I settled on this question because I am curious on finding out what foods you can overdose on and what the side effects can be. One case I found interesting was when a woman died because she drank too much water. I thought water was healthy and I never thought someone could actually die by drinking too much of it. This topic is important because some people are all about eating healthy and their  mind set could be "if I eat more of this healthy food, then I should be healthier also." I know that if you eat a lot of carrots, then some part of your skin turns orange. I have researched this topic some and I expect to find foods that are potentially dangerous if you eat too many. I also expect to find why they become dangerous when you eat a ceratin amount and what the side effects could be. I am finding that some scholars do agree that some food is dangerous if you eat too much but they think that some foods are more dangerous than others. I want to find out what foods could actually kill you if you eat too much of it and I think its important to know what the side effects could be of drinking too much coffee or eating too many carrots.
