This, I can't imagine anyone reaching toxic levels of glucose in their bloodstream by oral means, as nausea and vomiting are symptoms of hyperglycemia, preventing further intake.
Though I might underestimate people's addiction, maybe there are IV glucose junkies out there now?
- ssijak 12y agoGoogle "glucose toxicity" and you will get many papers describing it under certain conditions or in excess amounts.

Then again, too much of nearly anything is bad. There are lots of known cases of people dying of drinking too much water, for example, but that doesn't make water a bad thing in itself.
