Myth or Fact?

Fact! Eating a lot of carrots can temporarily give your skin an orange or yellowish tint, a condition called carotenemia.

This happens because carrots are rich in beta-carotene, a pigment that gives them their orange color.

When you consume large amounts of beta-carotene, it can accumulate in your skin, especially on the palms of your hands and soles of your feet.
