5 SIDE EFFECTS OF CARROT
1. ALLERGIC REACTIONS: Some people are hypersensitive to carrots and some common side effects among such people are skin rashes, diarrhea, anaphylactic reactions, hives, and swelling, such allergies are caused due to the allergen present in carrot pollen.
2. CAUSES CAROTENEMIA: Carrots contain high levels of beta carotene, which gets converted into Vitamin A in the body and heavy consumption of carrots leads to large amounts of carotene in your blood that causes Carotenemia which is a yellowish discoloration of the skin.
3.: HIGH IN SUGAR CONTENTS: People with diabetes should avoid the consumption of carrot because of its high sugar content. The sugar in carrot is converted into glucose and this quickly raises the body’s sugar level.
4. CHANGES FLAVOUR OF BREAST MILK: Breastfeeding moms should avoid drinking carrot juice in large quantities because carrot changes the flavour of breast milk.
5. UNSAFE FOR INFANTS: Carrots are unsafe for small children and that is why it is important to feed young babies only small portions of carrot.
