aren't there any multivitamins with only water-soluble stuff?

I got this multivitamin but it has 100% daily value of almost everything, even more than 100% DV in some cases. and a lot of the stuff is fat soluble. isn't that bad since the extra doesn't get flushed out of your system, and builds up in your fat?

No. It is not bad.

yes you are right... to much of the fat soluble can be lead to problems... A, E, D & Minerals all can be toxic a high levels in the system. I take B complex & C vitamins, especially the C's, these are water soluable and improve your immune system and nerveous system (brain function, etc...) My favorites are

GNC A-Z Chewable C 500 mg with Citrus C Complex, Fruit Flavor Tablets
GNC A-Z Big 150, Timed Release, Tablets 100

Take the B complex twice a day, a couple of the C & complex two to three times a day
these are the water soluable vitamins

Anything at high levels is toxic.

Linus Pauling won a Nibel Prize for his research into taking High doses of Vitamin C to improve the immune system... a couple of grams of vitamin C is good for the body... I ahven;t been sick with a cold or the flue for over two years

Tis normal, certain vitamins are ONLY fat soluble IIRC. Thats why you need to have fat in your diet.

Linus pauling did not win the Nobel Prize for Vitamin C! He won it for Proteins (Chemistry, 1954) and for his work against Nuclear Weapons (Peace, 1962)

In fact it is commonly accepted by many scientists that the whole Linus Pauling - Vitamin C thing is an example of how even geniuses can not be right about everything.
