Humans would get the same Heinz bodies (if memory serves) if they ate enough.

 

As for supplementing with potential toxins---well, the only difference between a "supplement" and "toxin" is dose.  Virtually every nutrient will cause detrimental effects if overdone, which of course is the primary argument against buying more and more buckets---the end result is usually an overall decrease in health rather than an increase. :-)
