If it’s trending on TikTok, it’s fucking stupid and probably dangerous. But we had a president that suggested we drink bleach, so I give up.
Fuck it.
It’s 3 carrots a day and the skin color is harmless (other than not actually protecting against UV but that’s, like, not worse than not doing it) so it’s actually quite positive. As long as they don’t think they can suddenly skip sunscreen, …
I actually had this happen to me as a little kid. I had to go to the hospital because they needed to check if I was jaundiced. Turned out it was just that my favorite foods are carrots and squash. Eating more vegetables isn’t a bad thing.

Any extra beta-carotene is then either stored in the liver and fat tissue, excreted through poo, or removed via sweat glands in the outer layer of the skin. This is when the orange skin “tan” can happen. In medicine, this is called carotenoderma.
