This article is all "see also botulism," but does not explain why. Some context would be valuable. Jessicapierce 19:35, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

At first glance this seems absurd, so I googled for "carrot juice orange skin" and found that there really are some sites that say carrot juice will turn your sking orange. However I also found, others that say it was due to the carrot juice causing the temporary release of excess bilirubin that was of poor quality [1]. Is it okay to change the article to reflect both opinions? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Chivas314159 (talk • contribs) 14:02, 26 April 2007 (UTC).[reply]

I could not find any supporting evidence on the negative health claims for weakened hair and clogged arteries on PubMed database or a general web search. Additionally, the article claims that an 8 oz serving contains as much sugar as a can of soda; both Pepsi and Classic Coke contain ~27g of sugar, whereas my bottle of Odwalla Carrot Juice contains 13g of sugar for the same serving size. I would take the negative claims with a huge grain of salt. Unspooling 09:24, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Basil Brown most certainly died from active Vitamin A supplementation tablets. His wife stated he was taking them at the time of his death.

It is impossible to die from eating too many carrots ( at least from Vitamin A poisoning ). Carrots contain an inactive form of Vitamin A known as Beta Carotene, and must be metabolized by the body in order to for what we know as Vitamin A. Excess beta carotene in the body will not be converted to Vitamin A.

Excessive beta carotene can temporarily turn the skin an orange color, but it is harmless and temporary.

One can die from supplementation of Vitamin A if it is an in Active, non beta carotene form. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mische504 (talk • contribs) 04:26, 24 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

[ej] If true, I think it is worth mentioning that there are no health risks. Also I think the reported overdose is worth mentioning. (Have to check Wikipedia guidelines on how to treat this kind of issue.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by User:ericjster —Preceding undated comment added 01:03, 29 June 2018 (UTC) [reply]
