Probably because mass consumption of carrots isn't a top public health issue? If consumption of carrots rivaled that of soda I'd be willing to bet there would be more studies on it just the same as there are studies on various other foods such as red meat, egg cholesterol, fish oil, etc.
- orclev 12y agoActually mass consumption of carrots can cause your skin to develop an orange tint (seriously, not joking here).
- novalis78 12y ago...and is being used by people who try to tan their skin.
- ddispaltro 12y agoSame with yams. It happened to my brother when we were kids.
- kaybe 12y agoHow much of which jam did he eat and what did he look like? (colour/intensity)
- Pxtl 12y agoYam, not jam. As in sweet potatoes.
- hrjet 12y agoYam, jam and sweet potatoes are three different things. See for example: http://homecooking.about.com/od/howtocookvegetables/a/sweetpotatodiff.htm http://homecooking.about.com/od/howtocookvegetables/a/sweetp...
- aidenn0 12y agoIn most parts of the US a sweet potato with soft orange insides is correctly called a "Yam" to differentiate it from the sweet potatoes with firm yellow insides. Either name isn't great; it's neither closely related to the african yam, nor the common potato.
- tsotha 12y agoHeh. My brother's wife was starting to look like an Oompa Loompa because of her carrot snacking habit. It was pretty funny, though it doesn't seem to have had any deleterious effect on her health.
