I've heard that if you eat a lot of carrots your skin can turn orange. Does anyone know if this has been proven and if so how many carrots you would need to eat?

A few years ago we had a Guina Pig and when ever I would feed the carrot to her I would eat some too really this went on for months and My hands and face had that glow. Keep meaning to do it again.

Reply:"Yes" eating a lot of carrots can turn you orange but you would have to eat a lot of them compared to a baby which is when this carrot thing is most obvious. Mass makes the difference. The bigger you are, the more you would have to eat so while in theory an adolescent or adult could eat enough, in practice it would be one heck of a lot of carrots! It's more an orange-ISH than a bright orange. With our daughter, it was only her nose that would get kind of orange-ish if she'd eaten a lot of carrot baby food that week. She never got orange all over, but I have heard stories about people that have.
Reply:My Aunt went on a mad carrot eating diet. She used to eat a pound of carrots a day and I think it was after about 3 months her skin started to turn a tinge of orange all over. Something to do with the Carotene in it. She looked really weird!!!
Reply:when my 11year old daughter was a baby she loved sweet potatoes and i mean loved so i gave it to her every day her cheekys turned orange in no time lol
Reply:it does turn ur skin a bit orange cos of the beta carotene, but u have to eat loads. once, on panorama, i saw a girl who drank loads of sunny d which contains beta carotene as a colouring and she went REALLY orange, and her family ended up suing the company.
Reply:The reason behind the color is carotene which gives the color to carrots by photosynthesis. I believe when your skin turns this color it is called carotenodermia. From what I heard in a Biology class this could be bad because it is too much Vitamin A from what I remembered. Thank you for your time.
Reply:Lots and Lots.


I think you have to eat quite a few every day for months in order for you to turn orange lol
