22. Fat soluble vitamins are highly toxic in high doses

so the RDA really shouldn't be exceeded long term. It's especially necessary for women to supplement with Vitamin D, calcium and magnesium to prevent osteoporosis down the road.

However, I'd be a bit leery of reading too much into this study. This is still pretty preliminary stuff, and may be contradicted like so many things have been in future, more closely controlled studies.
