Is too many Flinstone vitamins bad for you?
Yes, especially the ones that contain iron. It is very important to keep them out of the reach of children. Iron poisoning from multivitamins is one of the more common ways young children are poisoned. ********* To give you even more information - Yes. Like the first answerer mentioned, overdosing on multivitamins that contain iron is especially dangerous. Some people will tell you that if you overdose on vitamins, your body will just pass the excess out through your urine and you wont have a problem. This is very misleading information and is only true for vitamins that are WATER SOLUBLE. Vitamins that are FAT soluble, as well as trace minerals, will not be passed out of the body through urine. They will accumulate in fatty tissue and liver and can actually end up poisoning you. Flintstones Vitamins have a mixture of Fat Soluble vitamins, Water Soluble vitamins, and Trace Minerals. The following is a list of the different vitamins in Flintstones Vitamins. The ones with an (F) after are Fat Soluble, the ones with a (W) are Water Soluble and the ones with a (T) are Trace Minerals. Choline (W) Vitamin C (W) Vitamin E (F) Beta Carotene (F) Zinc (T) Iron (T) Calcium (W) Vitamin D (F) Phosphorus (W) Vitamin A (F) Vitamin C (W) Thiamine (W) Riboflavin (W) Niacin (W) Vitamin B6 (W) Folic Acid (W) Vitamin B12 (W) Biotin (W) Pantothenic Acid (W) Iodine (T) Magnesium (T) Copper (T) Sodium - This is a mineral commonly known as salt. As you can see, there are several Trace Minerals and Fat Soluble substances in these multivitamins. Even though kids vitamins like Flintstones and gummy vitamins TASTE like candy, it's important to remember that they are NOT. It is very possible to overdose on them, even if you are an adult, and the consequences can be very dangerous. ~Zooxie
What would be considered a rock?

Which is more important to human nutrition the major or trace minerals?

How are Diamonds located?

How do people get the location to mine for diamonds?
Prospectors in search of diamonds require either title to the land, or permission from the land owner to prospect for diamonds. Diamond pipes are discovered by geologists trained to identify trace minerals that are blasted to the earth's surface, sometimes with diamonds. You can read more about pipes and trace minerals, below.
What happens if you take in trace minerals in large amounts?
It they really are trace minerals, it probably means that you are consuming immense amounts of disastrously bad foods, or at least foods that you should not be consuming in such huge amounts. You are wasting resources that should be going to many, many more people. It could also mean that you are seriously poisoning yourself with minerals that should NOT be present in your body in amounts larger than 'trace'. You can dangerously overeat even foods that would otherwise be good for you.
Are minerals in fruits or vegetables destroyed during cooking?
No, not minerals. Minerals are trace elements or inorganic compounds. To 'destroy' them would involve far more energy than any food preparation will require. Vitamins can be destroyed though. As organic compounds, they will break down during the cooking, being split into their components. They will therefore be unable to be used for their original purposes, as the shape of organic molecules is very important.

(According to Wikipedia: "A chemical compound is a pure chemical substance consisting of two or more different chemical elements that can be separated into simpler substances by chemical reactions.")
What are the three groupings of minerals?
