a person consumes too many orange veggies such as carrotts, anyone else

ever heard of this?>>>>

Back in the 80's when I bought my first juicer and I was consuming carrot

juice regularly I never noticed it, but when I went home to visit

mom....her first comment was the yellowish color in my face. I still

didn't see it, but lessened the amount of carrots in my juice. I admit I

was consuming too many carrots.

Side note: when my son eats too many beets, his urine turns beet red. It

was so scary the first time I took him to the doctor, knew the color was

not blood red, but I did not put the beets and urine together as the

cause. I was told not to worry about the amount of beets.
