Hello! Thank you for your comment. What you are referring to is Carotenosis, which causes a yellowing of the skin that may turn orange. Carotenosis, not to be confused with jaundice, is relatively harmless. If you decrease your consumption of carrots, your skin, in most cases, will usually restore its original color within a few days, clearing the condition up fairly quickly.

As for how much carrot juice is too much, it has been determined that drinking more than three 8 ounce glasses of carrot juice a day, for an extended period of time, will cause Carotenosis. So, as with anything else, be sure to drink carrot juice in moderation.

Hey, how much carrot juice is too much? At what point will “one more cup” make your skin turn as orange as a Los Angeles housewife? Nice post though. If there is any chance drinking carrot juice will improve my eyesight then count me in!
