dustiiart	Carotenemia can result which creates a yellowing of the skin, mostly noticeable in the hands and soles of the feet. Infants and young children are most susceptible. This is due to too much beta-carotene in the diet. It doesn't cause any dangerous effects and to correct the condition, a low beta-carotene diet corrects things...might take several months tho. It used to be believed that the eye whites would also begin to turn yellowish but this isn't the case and there is no association between this and liver disease according to the medical community.

vJ	Iam a med-student.This info. should answer your question.carrots are rich in (beta)B-carotene.Excessive consumption of carotene-rich foods may lead to a condition called carotoderma in which the palms or other skin develops a yellow or orange cast. This yellowing of the skin is presumably related to carotenemia, excessive levels of carotene in the blood. The health impact of carotenemia is not well researched. Eating or juicing high amounts of foods rich in carotene, like carrots, may over tax the body's ability to convert these foods to Vitamin A. The body slowly converts carotene to Vitamin A, and extra carotene is stored, usually in the palms, soles or behind the ears. If the cause of the carotenemia is eating excessively high amounts of foods like carrots, the condition will usually disappear after reducing consumption. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Crystal L ™	Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin, so it's going to build up in your body if you're constantly consuming it. Eventually, your body will have bad side effects, like liver abnormalities, hair loss, and reduced bone density that could lead to osteoporosis, for starters. However, the Vitamin A in carrots is in the form of betacarotene, which doesn't turn into retinoids very often. Retinoids are stored in the liver, and the liver can't hold an infinite amount of them, which is what causes problems. Since the betacarotene in carrots ( and cantaloupe, and pumpkin) doesn't get turned into retinoids very much, it shouldn't cause problems. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
