It's also the case that when you're eating plant-based foods, unlike meat and dairy products, you're eating alpha- and beta-carotene and beta-cryptoxanthin, which your body can convert to Vitamin A and which don't cause hypervitaminosis.
So if you're just learning "Oh, shit, Vitamin A can poison me", don't let that hold you back from squash, yams, carrots etc.
