Question

I heard that there is something special about carrots that makes them dizzolze different than normal foods.

Answer 1

Yes, you can turn orange. Well, your hands turn orange, but it occurs from a buildup of plant pigments. It's harmless though, and goes away eventually.

Answer 2

Yes, it's frequently seen in infants who are given a lot of yellow vegetables such as carrots, squash, yams, etc. The pigment is called carotene, and the condition, yellow skin, is called carotenemia. It is most noted in fair skinned babies.

In carotenemia, the whites of the eyes remain white. In jaundice due to liver disease, the whites of the eyes appear yellow.

Answer 4
