Fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) can be stored in the body's fatty tissue and liver, potentially leading to toxicity if consumed in excess. In contrast, water-soluble vitamins (B vitamins and vitamin C) are not stored in the body to a significant extent and are excreted in the urine when consumed in excess, making them less likely to cause toxicity.
