https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overnutrition I know about malnutrition, and in hindsight it's obvious it has an opposite. And it's a bad thing, too.

Huh, I had never considered this term before. Thanks. Sounds like it's essentially another way to describe obesity, or an overabundance of a specific nutrient.

Yes, and not just obesity. Several vitamins can be toxic, and even fatal, in large enough amounts. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypervitaminosis Health is sometimes about keeping things in balance; e.g. when baking a cake, too much liquid can be as bad as not enough, though in a different way.
