I believed that I could better my eye sight by higher intake of carrots. But a study says that too many carrots may be detrimental to health. Indeed, we should be moderate everywhere and not take anything excessively.

Entamme.....
Yesterday I made carrot thoran for lunch....
actually we consume carrot almost all days.
How much carrot can we consume per week? Any idea :unsure:
Yes Gulshan Ji I also studied in one of the health books due to excess eating of carrots we had many health hazards.
Carrot is an important source of Vitamin A. Our body needs vitamin A for maintaining good vision and proper functioning of Immune system. The carotenoids are the compund present in tyhe plants which can be turned into vitamin. The moste common carotenoid is beta carotenoid and carrot is an important source of beta carotenoid.But excessive consumption of these carotenoids causes carotenosis in which the skin of a person turns orange or yellow.
When we taken in large quantity than required one causes ill to health.
No question about that,anything in access is dangerous to our health.
Any thing in less quantities also harms to our health. Every thing must be in control.

I think you should try reducing the intake of juice instead of 4 times have it twice a week.
Because in juice u consume more carrots that just by eating raw.
Otherwise u can also add beet root juice with carrot , it will be useful

6-7 carrots juice at a time is really not good. Try 2 carrots and 2 beetroot with milk. That should help you. Take it only twice a week.
Nice information i did not know this but i always believe excess of everything is always bad.

I also have heard, carrots should not be used for juice frequently. Is there any relation with sugar level of our body?
Carrots doesnt have any relation with sugar as such. Its only because of excess beta carotene in the carrots that affects our health .
