Carrotmaxxing Trend

There’s a new TikTok trend and spoiler alert, it could land you in the doctor’s office.

All I have to say is, “there’s a new TikTok trend,” and you could probably already guess it’s gonna be something stupid, dangerous, annoying or all the above. And you’d be spot on.

One of the latest viral trends on the platform is called “carrotmaxxing” and it involves eating a copious amount of carrots and/or carrot juice to attain glowing skin. 

While carrots are generally very good for your eyes, immunity, heart and digestive health, eating too many of them- especially for a stupid social media trend- could land you in the hospital. 

So carrots contain beta-carotene which is generally good for you, but if you consume too much you can get a medical condition called carotenemia which turns your skin a yellowish-orange color. 

Now for some, this is the desired effect and the “glow” the trend is intended to create but it can also cause high cholesterol. 

While overeating carrots will likely not cause most people major health problems, I’m not so sure orange skin is worth the risk?

I’d also add that President Trump is once again ahead of the aesthetic curve! Who knew?!
