I LOVE beets! If I ate a can of beets every day, would anything bad happen to my body? Or are beets just plain great and healthy no matter what?

If you eat nothing but red beets you could get a tinge of red to your skin coloring. During World War II, the same thing happened to pilots who ate alot of carrots to improve their eyesight. Their skin took on the orange coloring of the carrots they ate.
Otherwise, you'll be very healthy for the fiber benefits of beets, although you could have a slightly elevated blood sugar level due to the high sugar content in beets. Believe it or not, beets contain more natural sugars than sugar cane does.

nothing terrible would happen to you. I love beets too! I only eat them occasionally, however. Once after eating beets I thought I had blood in my feces but it just turned out to be the beets!! I even had my doc check me out. So, you would probably have stained feces all the time, but other than that, there wouldn't be health complications unless you are allergic or are not eating an otherwise balanced diet.

Maybe one beet a day is healthy...but i wouldn't push it...because beets are a deep colored veggie you can develop something called carotenimia where you turn the color of the veggie...for example if you ate too many carrots you'll turn orange...i had friend do that and she turned orange..now she hates carrots...so be careful..make sure you continue to eat a balanced diet and you should be fine

Eat your beets. They're a fine source of vitamins.

You'd be doing yourself a big favor. Beets help combat cancer, protect your heart, control blood pressure, conquer kidney stones and strengthen bones.

Beets are good for blood as it contains huge percentage of iron. The only thing, it can make you some constipation. so I think you better eat them but not in a regular way.
