Many essential trace nutrients are also potent poisons in large quantities.

These can all kill you in excessive dosages:
iron
fluoride
copper
manganese
chromium
zinc
vitamin A
many, many more.

On the other hand, if we eliminated any of these from our diets, we would die of the corresponding deficiency.
