Urban (or perhaps, rural) myth. http://www.feelhealthynow.com/FAQ/sk...h_diet_FAQ.htm 'm drinking carrot juice regularly and my skin seems to be turning orange or yellow? What's happening? There are two possible reasons why your skin is turning orange. Either your body is unable to process all the carotene properly in the carrot juice you are drinking and high-carotene vegetables you are consuming, or your liver is toxic. Either way, the color shows up in your skin. If you are having difficulty processing carotene: You may be drinking too much carrot juice at once. Your body can't really assimilate more than 8-10 oz. of carrot juice at one time (taken on an empty stomach). So if you're drinking a bigger glass than that, you could be causing your own problem. Instead, try drinking no more than 8 oz. at a time. If you're trying to add extra carrot juice to your diet (possibly because you're fighting cancer and want the extra antioxidants), then drink 8 oz. of carrot juice and wait at least an hour before ingesting more. Your body can handle it at this rate and you shouldn't be getting discolored skin. Remember that while excess carotene can often cause this condition in children, it is uncommon in HEALTHY adults because their liver should function well enough to convert the beta-carotene to vitamin A and eliminate the rest from the body. As a rule, spinach juice won't turn you green, beets won't turn you red, carrots won't turn you orange. We usually get yellow / orange when we are jaundiced because our liver is congested or it is casting off toxins. The skin is one of four organs of elimination in your body. Some toxins will come out there. http://216.239.37.100/search?q=cache...w.countrylife- restaurant.co.uk/nuggets/cap1.pdf+%22vitamin+A%22+toxin&hl=en&ie=UTF-8 Was that a good idea? It's true that vegetables are an important part of a healthful diet. It's also true that they are increasingly being valued for their role in preventing disease. But five pounds of one vegetable every day? Judith's body eventually rebelled. Her skin took on a sickly yellowish colour. Fearing hepatitis, she rushed to the doctor. He explained that carrots contain an orange-yellow dye known as beta-carotene. The body handles reasonable quantities of this substance, but excessive amounts are stashed away in the liver, skin, and mucous membranes, turning them the colour. of a carrot. http://endoflifecare.tripod.com/juve...ase/id228.html Those who intend to take a supplement are advised to take only the recommended dose, or the dose prescribed by one's physician, because health risks can arise when there is too much of any given vitamin or mineral in the body. Too much of this. .could lead to this. Beta-carotene (Vitamin A) Liver damage, yellowing of the skin (may also increase risk of lung cancer in smokers), birth defects http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioaccumulate Other compounds that are not normally considered toxic can be accumulated to toxic levels in organisms. The classic example is of Vitamin A, which becomes concentrated in carnivore livers: Polar bears are the classic example: as a pure carnivore that feeds on other carnivores (seals), they accumulate extremely large amounts of Vitamin A in their livers. It was known by the native peoples of the arctic that the livers should not be eaten, but Arctic explorers have suffered vitamin A poisoning from eating the bear livers (and there has been at least one example of similar poisoning of Antarctic explorers eating huskie dog livers). -- Oz This post is worth absolutely nothing and is probably fallacious.
