While toxic amounts of basically anything are bad, introducing random facts that have no bearing on what is discussed can mislead some readers into thinking you're making a point related to the topic at hand. While it may be unintentional, this is misleading and therefore not helpful.

Look at the context. I was responding to the implication that taking 3 vitamins is categorically safe. It is not.

If your definition of "safe" is so strict that it declares that's not safe, that's fine and your decision, but it's not a definition you can live by. You're not actually holding your actions in your life to that standard, because you can't be. It's fundamentally broken to do risk analysis without considering the possible benefits as well. Otherwise you end up with the answer to literally everything being "It could be harmful", with no countervailing possibilities, and your heuristic says "no" to everything, including doing nothing. You can't live that way.

In any normal sense it is safe.
