Just wanted to comment that the orange color is not from the color pigmentation of the carrots, but your body clearing itself of bile and bilirubin. "Intestinal and liver diseases are sometimes due to a lack of certain of the elements contained in properly prepared raw carrot juice. When this is the case, then a noticeable cleaning up of the liver may take place, and the material which was clogging it may be found to dissolve. Frequently this is released so abundantly that the intestinal and urinary channels are inadequate to care for this overflow, and in a perfectly natural manner it is passed into the lymph for elimination from the body by means of the pores of the skin. This material has a distinctly orange or yellow pigment and while it is being so eliminated from the body will sometimes discolor the skin. Whenever such a discoloration takes place after drinking carrot or other juices, it is an indication that the liver is getting a well-needed cleansing." FRESH VEGETABLE AND FRUIT JUICES 27 Norman W. Walker https://juicerecipes.com/blog/does-carrot-juice-make-you-turn-orange/ "He goes on to explain in another book that the accumulated waste material "is released so abundantly that the intestinal and urinary channels are inadequate to care for this overflow, and in a perfectly natural manner it is passed into the lymph for elimination from the body by means of the pores of the skin. This material has a distinctly orange or yellow pigment, and while it is being so eliminated from the body will sometimes discolor the skin after drinking carrot and other juices…and is an indication that the liver is getting a well-needed cleansing." He further explains that this discoloration would take place even if the carrot had been cleared of all color pigment. "It is just as practical an impossibility for the carrot pigment itself to come through the skin as it would be for the red pigment of the beet to turn the body red or the chlorophyll of the green vegetables to paint the skin green from within." Dr. John Christopher, master herbalist and N.D, also has a very clear explanation for this condition. "When the bile starts to clear itself, it will make the skin go yellow." He insists emphatically that "This is not carotene coming through the skin, it is BILE. The bile starts to free itself so rapidly, the bowels, the kidneys, the lungs and the skin can't handle it fast enough so it takes the skin as the fastest way out. The bile comes through the skin, causing a yellow condition." This guy claims to have drank 14 liters of carrot juice weekly (2 liters per day?) and never turned orange. + https://www.quora.com/In-a-carrot-juice-experiment-I-drank-14-litres-of-carrot-juice-per-week-and-kept-it-up-for-several-months-My-skin-did-not-turn-the-slightest-bit-orange-Why?share=1 The author of Juice Recipes (Tracee Sloan) above claims to have been drinking 2 quarts or more per day and turned orange... and then turned back to normal. Norman Walker was drinking a gallon or more (of carrot juice) a day and turned orange... and then turned back to normal. Clearly, there's more to the skin pigmentation change than just the coloring of carrots. I've never seen anyone turn blue/ purple from too many blueberries, or red/ purple from too many beets, or green from too many greens.
