This. Everything is poison in sufficiently high quantities, including water (osmosis causes the brain cells to swell, increasing intracranial pressure) and oxygen (produces peroxides and free radicals that cause celluar damage).
Yeah, anyone who says something has a lethal dosage amount, I remind them that water has an LD50 that has been scientifically documents, and Reese Cups have an LD50 that is scientifically backed (it's surprisingly close to 1kg/kg, for what it's worth, so eating your own body weight in reese cups in a single sitting and short period of time would kill about 50% of the adult population who did so successfully). That doesn't mean eating a peanut butter cup is going to kill you, even if you wash it down with a glass of water.
