I am doubting it... you are probley in the sun a lot or in a more well lite area than usual or you are in a warmer area than usual and so your skin is getting flushed and turning to a tan. the carrots have nothing to do with it. |

Yes, I have heard this somewhere before, but my opinion: I don't think it is true. |

They can do that. Babies usually have this happen more than adults, but it's not dangerous. I doubt you're going to get so orange that you'll look like an Umpa Lumpa.
It's very good for you to be getting all that beta carrotine!! |

Daft as it sounds YES
But you would need to eat huge amounts before the beta-carotine in them had any effect. |

If you consume too much beta carotene your skin will turn an orange tint.
I knew a girl once who wasn't eating VERY many carrots but she was anorexic and the carrots were all she was eating. She was as orange as a crayon. |

The answer: is yes!
During this summer i heard from a friend that eating carrot make you tan. I went and bought tons of bags so i could look nice and tan..considering the fact im sooooooooo white....and pail...and ew.
Anyways... i ate about 4 jumbo bags of carrots in 2 days, i woke up the day after that and was a wierd orange color. it took a while to go back to my normal tone.
I now hate carrots...
just dont eat to many carrots and if people tell you no, its not true... well they are WRONG.. mmk? mmmkays. |

If you eat a lot of carrots, it can tinge your skin a bit, but don't worry you won't get too orange. |

Yes, it's true--the carotene in carrots (as well as other veggies) can do this to you. You may want to cut down on your carrot consumption, because this means there's just a lot of carotene building up in your body--it can be fatal in VERY large doses, but this is very (and I stress 'very') rare. You can look elsewhere for nutrients if you don't want to be sickly yellow-orange anymore, though! |

A tint of orange, yes.
But ORANGE, orange, like bright ORANGE...
No |

Yes, it's possible see link. |

Yes. You have probably saturated your body's absorption of Vitamin A which is why you are turning a bit orange. Too much of any vitamin is not good for you. I have included a link to a site that contain more info on this. |

NO...i eat about 6 carrots a day...every morning i juice them...it helps my skin stay clear and my cheaks have a peachy glow...they used to be rosey before...and as soon as i stop a few days l8er im pink again....either way carrots are healthy for the skin(they have beta carrotene or something) they are recomended for a healthy coloured complexion ...and thsi drinking of carrot juice every morning is a arabic/persian beauty secret most women do it but are all secretive ....so dont worry you wont turn orange...all you will have is the orange glow in your cheeks and where ever else blood rushes to becuse it clears and conditions the blood .... (orange cheeks are in fashion...all my friends wear the peach no7 blusher) |

if you are an infant the chances are higher but with adults you would have to eat a massive amount of carrotts daily |

If you eat a lot, you can have an orange "hue" to your skin, specifically seen on your palms. ITs because of the beta carotene. |

Yes! the beta keratene does...I used to be orange like the evening sun when I was a baby cuz i loved carrot juice.... |

I've only heard they can turn you orange, if you are turning orange then I wouldn't doubt you would become more colored if you continue eating the amount you do each day. |

yes its the beta carentine, |

Yes, you will. Carotenemia is a clinical condition characterized by yellow pigmentation of the skin and increased beta-carotene levels in the blood. In most cases, the condition follows prolonged and excessive consumption of carotene-rich foods, such as carrots, squash, and sweet potatoes. However, carotenemia has been associated with more serious conditions, such as diabetes mellitus and hypothyroidism. |

Yes...The beta carotene in them will make your skin tinge orange if large amounts of carrots are eaten. |

Yes it can if you eats lots. Yes you will if you continue. Cut them down to 1 or 2 a day |

Yes, the carotene makes you orange. I had a friend who turned orange from eating ketchup.
Your body only makes the amount of vitamin A that it needs, then it stores the rest as carotene, the vitamin A precursor in your tissues as orange colored stuff. |

The beta-carotene in carrots can turn nails and skin a slight orange color if consumed in large quantities.
It's doubtful that your skin will turn *more* orange, but it will remain that way if you continue to eat the same amount. |
