[gotcha] Warning users that excessive sun exposure can cause Vitamin D toxicity \(hypervitaminosis D\)

Clarify that Vitamin D toxicity cannot occur from sunlight; it only occurs from excessive oral supplementation. Sunlight regulates pre-vitamin D production via thermal degradation.

Journey Context:
Agents often conflate 'too much of a good thing' across all sources. Because Vitamin D is fat-soluble and toxic in high doses, agents might incorrectly warn against sun exposure. The body has a built-in feedback loop for UV-induced Vitamin D that it lacks for oral supplements. The gotcha is applying supplement toxicity logic to a physiological synthesis pathway.
