Tolerable upper intake level(UL) is the highest amount of a nutrient that is chronically consumed each day (from all sources) and is deemed unlikely to have a negative impact on human health.
In this sense, "tolerable intake" refers to what is physiologically safe. It is a scientific evaluation based on risk assessment, i.e., the likelihood that an unfavorable impact would manifest at a certain amount of exposure.
For different demographic life stage groupings, ULs may be generated. It is not advisable to consume more than the UL. It is a projection of the maximal consumption amount with a negligible chance of adverse health consequences.
A risk assessment is necessary to ascertain the percentage of the population (if any) whose consumption exceeds the UL as well as the extent and frequency of the high consumption in order to evaluate if an affected community is in danger.

Therefore it is concluded that the questioned statement is true.
