If you eat too many carrots could it turn your skin orange-ish?

Yes.





But you would have to eat A LOT.





I drink a litre of carrot juice a day and have not yet turned orange.





But I have seen someone who drinks a lot more carrot juice per day (than me) turn a orangy tinge. Well just the palms of his hands, not his whole body.





There is no harm in it.





You just stop consuming carrots until you return to your normal colour.








.|||Yes,


but you need a lot.


Carotene can turn your skin slightly orange and carotene is also an ingredient in many suntan lotions.





A true story and a hit movie%26quot;Black Like Me%26quot;( a must read) is about a man who changed his skin color to black by using Oxsoralen


( I also believe he took high doses of carotene although it doesn%26#039;t mention it in this article).
