Actually, there is often a very large difference between the RDA and the
Tolerable Upper Intake Level. I assume that you meant people who take
more than the Tolerable Upper Intake Level are putting themselves at risk?

For example, the RDA for women 31-50 for Vitamin C is 75 mg/day. The
Upper Intake for adults is 2000 mg/day.
