====Carotenosis====
[[Carotenosis|Carotenoderma]], also referred to as carotenemia, is a benign and reversible medical condition where an excess of dietary carotenoids results in orange discoloration of the outermost skin layer. It is associated with a high blood β-carotene value. This can occur after a month or two of consumption of β-carotene rich foods, such as carrots, carrot juice, tangerine juice, mangos, or in Africa, red palm oil. β-carotene dietary supplements can have the same effect. The discoloration extends to palms and soles of feet, but not to the [[sclera|white of the eye]], which helps distinguish the condition from [[jaundice]].<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Maharshak N, Shapiro J, Trau H | title = Carotenoderma – a review of the current literature | journal = International Journal of Dermatology | volume = 42 | issue = 3 | pages = 178–181 | date = March 2003 | pmid = 12653910 | doi = 10.1046/j.1365-4362.2003.01657.x | s2cid = 27934066 | doi-access = free | title-link = doi }}</ref> Consumption of greater than 30&nbsp;mg/day for a prolonged period has been confirmed as leading to carotenemia.<ref name=PKIN2020Carotenoids/><ref>{{cite book | vauthors = Al Nasser Y, Jamal Z, Albugeaey M | chapter = Carotenemia | title = StatPearls | location = Treasure Island (FL) | publisher = StatPearls Publishing | date = 2021 | pmid = 30521299 | doi = 10.1007/s00253-001-0902-7 | s2cid = 22232461 }}</ref>
