Answers:
Eating carrots is known to improve your Vitamin A intake. This may improve or maintain your eyesight.

However, there is no evidence or real chance that you will turn orange from eating carrots or drinking carrot juice. In fact, carrot juice has limited acidity, and generally won't even stain your tongue orange.

If you really want to be orange, the closest thing you could do is get a tan, visit a solarium or use some fake tan lotion. Depending on your current skin colour, this will make you a little closer to brown/orange.

babies can get an orange tint to em from too many orange veggies. but I dont know about grown folks. Sorry!

no it doesn't lol but its good for you, and your eyes lol

it can. the beta carotene can turn your skin an orangish-color but you would have to consume non-stop amounts for awhile.
I believe it happens because your body can't pee out all that extra beta carotene so it let's your skin deal with it. lovely, eh?

Good luck turning orange! Drink/eat tomatoes too, that will help out in the process.

it does not turn you orange but if you drink lots of carrot juice you will get an orangish tint to your skin....and eating a lot of spinach will turn your poo green.....

yes, its possible but you would have to get a vitamin A (beta carotene) toxicity, which included ingesting 3000 ug of Vitamin A per day, over 3x the recommended daily Intake (RDI).

once your body processed the vitamin & expelled it from your body, your normal color will begin to return.

:o)

No it doesn't make you orange but you will have enough beta carrotene which gives you the best eyesight as you may know!
