Hess and Meyers in 1919 noted yellow pigmentation of palms of hands and forearms and amber color of urine, with normal stool and white sclerae, as a result of increased consumption of carrots; this color disappeared with termination of carrot feeding; it is explained by the fact that the latter contains a special pigment - carotene, which, entering the animal body, gives the corresponding color to milk, fat, blood serum. Cairo also noted the yellow coloring of the skin of the face as a result of the consumption of carrots. Umber noted carotenemia in 15 diabetics who consumed carrots. These facts are considered by Pislav and Monceaux as an indication of a connection between carotenemia and metabolic disorders, namely reduced oxidation.
