I chose to believe that a driver in this city would never try to hit me, but later I would reckon with this fact. It happened again that night. It's Springtime where I live. The sun is out until late in the evening and I enjoy my walk home from work in calm daylight. Like I do every day, I press the walk button and wait for a trio of cars to come to a stop. Two on my side of the road and one in the opposite lane. I give a customary wave in confirmation as I step into the street. I didn't realize I was still shook from this morning until I took that first step off the sidewalk. But deciding that is ridiculous, these drivers have all politely stopped for me, I continue past the first set of cars. I feel two pairs of eyes on the back of my neck and one on my face as I make my way into the middle of the road. One foot on the middle yellow line, the two cars behind me accelerate. Starting from zero miles per hour, the first car side-swipes the second as the second turns plainly in an attempt to run me down.
Symptoms of a vitamin B6 deficiency include a swollen tongue, depression and confusion, a weakened immune system, and certain types of anemia. And even though your body gets rid of excess B vitamins, it is possible to overdo it on B6, Angelone notes. Too much B6 can lead to nerve damage, Angelone says. And a new study suggests too much B6 (and B12) was linked to an increased risk of lung cancer in men, especially those who were smokers. This new data was published online ahead of print in August 2017 in the Journal of Clinical Oncology. You're not likely to get too much B6 (or B12) from a healthy, balanced diet. Too much of any B vitamin is likely due to individual vitamin supplements, not food or multivitamins. Good Sources of Vitamin B6 Excellent food sources that serve up the vitamin B6 you need include chickpeas, beef, poultry, and fish. Other foods that are high in B6 are whole grains, fortified cereals, nuts, beans, bananas, and potatoes. Vitamin B6 is usually included in multivitamins and sold as an individual supplement; it may be listed as pyridoxal, pyridoxamine, pyridoxine hydrochloride, or pyridoxal-5-phosphate.
