I think there's at least some truth to that. My dad was an MD, and he used to love to diagnose difficult cases. Once, he was treating a baby who was suspected of having jaundice. He did some research, and found that an excess of the substance in carrots could cause an orange/yellow coloration (even in the whites of the eyes) that resembled jaundice. He asked the kid's mother what she had been feeding the child, and she said that he was getting strained carrots almost exclusively. Case solved.

I had a friend who drank too much carrot juice as a kid. She was trying to improve her eyesight, so she wouldn't have to wear glasses. She started turning orange and her mother made her quit.

to much of the chemical beta carotene which yr body turns into vitamin A can make yr skin appear orange in colour. Carrot juice is high in beta carotene .. so yep i guess it must be true

Yes...some people turn orange after just a bit, but every day.

It's possible. Having high levels of beta carotene in your body can turn your skin orangish, and carrots are loaded with it.
