Is It True – You are What You Eat?

Sunday, June 14, 2009 by George Pappas

Carrot juice—it’s full of benefits for you, including lowering blood sugar, reducing the risk of heart diseases and stroke, lowering cholesterol, reducing inflammation and enhancing eyesight.  But, as the old adage ‘You are what you eat’ claims, can drinking too much carrot juice turn your skin orange?


The simple answer is YES -- carrot juice can turn your skin orange—for a while.  When skin turns orange, it is not from the carrot juice per se, it is from the overflow of materials which have been clogging the liver and are being eliminated with the consumption of carrot juice.*


When your skin turns orange for a bit, that is actually a good sign that the system is getting a good cleansing.  As you continue to drink the juice and your system is thoroughly cleansed, the color will eventually disappear.* Though the yellowing of the skin from indulging in a heavy dose of carrots is seldom serious and will disappear in a few days, continued carrot gorging can cause medical problems.**


Organic carrot juice is one of nature’s best foods for you.  It is an excellent source of pro-vitamin A, vitamins C, D, E, K, B1 and B6.  Carrots are also rich in bioton, potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorous and organic sodium.*
