A member asked:

Can eating too many vegetables be harmful for my body?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Vegetables are the healthiest foods you can eat. They give your body the tools to heal itself. Antioxidants are present in brightly colored veggies. If you get diarrhea, eat more cooked veggies than raw. There is debate about how important it is to eat mainly raw veggies vs cooked.
