Has anyone had a problem or died from drinking too much ginger juice?

Because we love it and have been going though a pound a week of ginger since we started juicing.

LOL!

Been reading tons of great things about ginger like immune boosting, anti-inflammatory, clearing microcirculatory paths, improved absorption of nutrients, anti-cancer, etc.
But saw a few bad ones like has oxalate which may cause kidney stones, may reveal preexisting gall stone issues, and suggestions of limiting to 4 grams a day, which is like a tiny nub on the cutting board.

I'm sure there is a quantity that equates to too much. I don't know what that amount is and I expect it's different for each of us. I doubt 1lb a week is too much though it is more than I eat. If you feel ok then carry on but carry on researching; cuisines that use ginger a lot would perhaps easily use that much. Those who practice/follow Chinese medicine might consider that much ginger too "heating".

I don't recall ever dieing from it, lol. Drink up! I remember wanting to die from motion sickness and having candied ginger on hand to pull me throught it. Go ginger, go ginger ,:cheer:

I'm thinking when your body has had enough, it will let you know and your desires will change.

I love ginger too but I am not brave enough to drink it stand alone. I have it in all my juice combos and I like it with just apple juice. Plus I drink ginger tea often!

I like it a lot too. I usually add ginger, turmeric and even beet almost daily to smoothies and juices. I got a little worried about it being "too much". So I skip some days here and there just to be on the safe side.

Hmmm
One of the most under utilized ingredients that I keep stocked in my kitchen.
