Yellow hands?

[Katie P]

I swear I have the weirdest posts! So my question is....it looks as though I've eaten about a billion carrots if you look at my hands. I didn't eat carrots for a week b/c my hands we're kinda orangy/yellow to test & see if it was b/c I eat alot of carrots & the color went away slightly. Is this normal? Or is this my body detoxing? I've heard when your liver detoxes that you can have yellowish skin? I've also heard that it can be a thyroid issue---which in the past my thyroid was low.....anyone know anything or have the same thing going on with them?

I posted something the other day about noticing an orange tint to my skin on days when I eat a lot of oranges. I don't see why your situation wouldn't be similar. I don't think its "bad" for you. My guess is we're assimilating the foods we're eating and it shows up in our skin. Kind of like beat juice will turn your urine red-ish.
