    In short, there is nothing that is not damaging in an excessive amount. A lot of anything will bring bad consequences. This includes anything we consider "good" such as vitamins and minerals and HDL.

    Except democracy. You can't have too much democracy. Nothing but rule of the people can be the right thing. Even if it would turn out that people are too stupid in aggregate and would technically benefit from a despot or anything less that direct and absolute democracy.

    (I know you were talking about nutrition, but for some reason I felt compelled to come up with a silly counter argument.)
