Did you know

Feeding your baby too many orange veggetables will turn their skin orange.
I have recently started Kaitlyn on sweet potatoes and after 3 servings I noticed her nose turning a slight shade of orange.
Strange this never happened with my other girls.
So in a slight panic I call my mother (a nurse) asking her and she tells me yes its from to many orange veggies.
So being a google fool that I am I looked it up. It actually has a name and everything. Here's the link

damn that what i use to get the kids i use to babysit to eat their veggies, they love the idea of having orange skin though. i didnt know it was true though...wierd.

MY cousin did that. he ate a ton of carrots and he really turned a bright shade of orange.

I heard this too, but I think you need to eat massive amounts of food with keratin (sp?) in them to actually have your skin change color. I wouldn't worry about it too much.  

I didnt know that interesting.. Thanks for sharing.

My daughters skin turned a slight shade of orange... she loves sweet potatoes and carrots. Its fairly common   She has an olive skin tone and its kinda noticeable... atleast to me.

She already said the baby's nose was turning a orange a little thats why she looked everything up and asked her mother..

Reminds me of willy wonka.

no she had 3 2oz servings of sweet potatoes, 1 serving at lunch 3 days in a row.

I just plan on alternating green and orange and intoducing fruit now

I'm sure an adult would have to eat a massive amount to notice a difference.

Jr ate carrots yesterday and his poop was orange today...lol

I think everyone should read this post.   *ahem*

You can also turn orange if you use too much self tanner. I know someone who should take that in mind, but I haven't heard from her in like, 2 days.

  what does this have to do with orange carrot nose?? LOL just trying to follow your mind thought
