Can Carrot Juice Daily With Regular Meal Lead To Jaundice?
two glasses of carrot juice daily, along with regular meal, will cause any disadvantage?(consumed for nearly two months) I asked this question because in this website its given as it may lead to jaundice. Aged 17 years, height 5.1 ft, 42 kgs and no sickness,
according to best of my knowledge, carrot juice is beneficial to combat jaundice rather causing it.its healthy.
Carotenemia is NOT jaundice and NOT a disease. Its common in children and NOT adults. Increased ingestion of carrots may lead to Carotenemia, a yellowing of the skin caused by eating an excess of certain vegetables. In this condition, a yellowish skin maybe observed BUT it does "NOT" affect the eyes while jaundice (increased bilirubin) affects eyes also- sclera may become yellow in Janudice.
if any further questions, feel free to ask.
