I do know that my sister ended up in the hospital several times with
vit. D poisoning in the 60's until they figured out what the problem was
and she stopped taking it or cut down on it.

However, careful examination of the patients reveals that both papers

can reach the highest levels of academia"

But one can also get vitamin D poisoning from too much sun:

Symptoms of vitamin D toxicity can easily occur when vitamin D is
taken in large amounts or with excessive sun exposure. (It is
possible that part of sun poisoning symptoms are due to vitamin D
toxicity.)
As with everything, moderation is in order.

There is a lot in this article. He has a lot of different articles

Having the proper amount of vitamin D is important. But I do want to
remind everyone that both vitamin A and D are fat soluble vitamins,
and
are not eliminated from the body if an excess is taken like most other
vitamins. They can cause severe toxic reactions if taken in excess of
what the body can handle.
