I have recently noticed that the instant oatmeal that I eat (daily) supposedly contains 100% of the RDA of several vitamins and minerals, including vitamins A and D, folic acid, iron and most others contained in my pre-natals.

Am I ingesting an excessive/harmful amount of vitamins (in particular A, D, K and E) by eating such highly fortified cereal in addition to taking my pre-natal vitamin supplements? Should I switch to a less-fortified cereal?

Please advise. Thank you.
