What would happen to you if you ate solely carrots?
For example - would you die, if so how long? Would you turn orange? Would you gain better eyesight?
Answers:
You will die definitely but no definite time. The cause of your death will be mainly due to some disorders or diseases as your body is in malnutrition state. The body needs other nutrients to keep it functionally healthy. Carrot will give you vitamin A (beta-carotene) and some other vitamins and a little amount of fibers.
Large and prolonged consumption of carrot will result to building up of carotene in your blood streams and this will turn you to have yellow color just like jaundice. Excessive amount of carotene leads to condition called carotenosis which got negative effects to your health.
Gaining better eyesight doesn't require purely vitamin A. It needs other nutrition as well along with it for the system to work effectively.
Obviously, human system is different from a bunny and there are specific nutrients required to sustain life thus just eating carrot will put your health into a great compromise. Do you know that an excessive vitamin A is dangerous? So, just spare your extra carrots to bunnies - they will appreciate you for doing so.♥
You would turn orange and Bugs Bunny would be your best friend.
You'd turn orange and have x-ray vision- you'd pretty much turn into a superhero!
you turn orange as its a die plus you spend a lot of time in the crapper
Your skin would turn carrot color.
People have done this, and it turns their skin orange from the carotene.
It was used as a fake tan at one point.
You will not get better sight. But you could get a bit of an orange color in your skin.
That happened to Susan Dey when she was on The Partridge Family. All she ate was carrots for a while, and her skin turned orange.
You'd get 'TANGOED'.
You really would turn orange, ..you are what you eat, you will start sprouting green hair and lines around your body....arrrrrrrrrghhhhhhh.
You would suffer from malnutrition as you are not getting all the different vitamins, minerals, proteins etc that your body requires.
Eating too much carrots can make your skin develop an orangy glow. If you go to the attached website you can see the results of a 5 week experiment
I have heard that carotene turns your skin orange, I think someone would notice (including you) that something was wrong before you reached the dying stage :). Be sensible, why make yourself ill, just eat a balanced diet.
You would grow long ears, big front teeth and develope a desire to hop. Apart from which you would turn orange and become the first orange, human bunny in the world...lol
I hear you get an orange tinge, yes.
You would probably turn orange. My GP remarked that my daughter had an Orange nose and asked if I was giving her carrots. I said no, she did occasionally have baby food our of the jar, but mostly I made her food myself and she was still being breast-fed. Nevertheless, he had made me think, and lo and behold! No matter if it was, chicken, spinach, turkey or beef, the one thing all those pots contained was - CARROTS
You wouldn't die for a while but eventually malnutrition would get you. Its true the carotene does make you look orange-its why some people take it as a tanning aid.
David dickenson is a fine example.
You probably won't die by eating carrots because you physically could not eat enough, but you could suffer from Vitamin A poisoning. A guy in Tokyo once committed suicide by drinking enormous amounts of carrot juice.
The eyesight thing is just a Second World War myth. The British wanted to hide the fact of radar, so invented the fiction that carrots were responsible for their pilots being able to see Germany bombers at night.
what kind of carrots are solely carrots?
We first your urine would go orange, then your skin would start turning orange this would be followed by vitamin A poisoning (not nice) and the scurvy from lack of Vitamin C. Things go down hill from there.
you would turn a little orange and then slowly die
My Aunt went on a diet that included one pound of raw carrots every day and after a few weeks her skin started to turn orange. I have photos to prove it, we still take the mick now!
you would die as it not a balanced diet and you would turn orange, don't think the eyesight would improve except for looking at other food
I know of people who have carried out this experiment and their skins turned orange
Carrots contain vitamin A, which helps you see better in the dark. It doesn't give you better eyesight, just better night vision.
I agree with the others who say that you need a balanced diet, it doesn't sound to me as if you are actually considering eating solely carrots, but it's definitely not a good idea. Eat carrots by all means but make sure you eat other foods too

I don't know if u;d have better eyesite, but the excess carrotin in ur body would turn u orange. Idk if u would die, u would ind up malnourished, but it would take a long long time 4u 2die i think.
you would be able to see through brick walls just before
you die from malnutrition.
you'd start twitching your nose and hopping about
You would have fantastic eyesight, beautiful eyes and look orange all over !! It's the vitamine 'E', you see ? I don't know if you would die of hunger ut you would certainly not live very long. YOu need a lot more than vitamine E to survive !
The excess beta-carott-eene (get it?) will turn you orange, darlin'. And just in time fer Hallowe'en.
Ignore the other answers and look at this first please, as it isn't as simple as turning orangy colour. Too much of a chemical in carrots is Very Very Bad for Health and can lead to severe complications. Also, vitamin A only improves eyesight when mixed with other chemicals, just like any other healthy vitamin or chemical. Only a combination of these will work, so eating carrots solely will do much more harm than good.
