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.
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.
That’s both a yes and no. Veggies are good. Overindulgence is not.
Carrots are quite heavy on sugar. Most “root fruits” are.
It’s a typical problem people run into when trying to loose weight via dieting.
Edit: Three carrots a day shouldn’t be a problem though.
People are fucking stupid, but I guess it’s good that they’re eating vegetables.
Can they invent a few more of these kinds of Tik Tok trends?
The kind where they’re tricked into doing something healthy and harmless? I imagine an army of troll nutritionists thinking up new challenges :)

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.
Carotenoderma gives your skin a yellow/orange pigment that is not the same colour you’d turn from a sun tan. It is concentrated in the palms of the hands, the soles of the feet and smile lines near the nose.
This is harmless and goofy, but it goes to show how easily something so stupid can take hold and enter the conversation.
