will green veg. make you so yellow?

Hi all,

Two months ago, I noticed that I look so yellow. I have been 60-70% raw for 5 months.
everyday, I drink organic salad mixes with banana daily (use blender to blender them)
Just wonder whether greens can make you look so yellow? (read Steve Jobs biography and mentined he looked orange one time as he drank lots of orange jucie daily)

Thank you for your help.

Steve Jobs probably looked yellow, because his cancer-stricken pancreas was pressing against his poor liver and gall bladder, causing jaundice. I think Dr. McDougall mused about this in a newsletter. You can get an orange tinge from lots of Vitamin A, but orange juice isn't an abundant source.

I am assuming you mean that you are orangey, like in the palms of your hands. I knew someone who got this way from drinking too much fresh carrot juice! Leafy greens have a lot of orangey Vitamin A, but it's concealed under the green pigment.

If you mean that you are excessively sallow, like yellowish around your neck and face and thighs and upper arms, I would recommend going to a doctor to have your liver checked.

I second the last paragraph!

I knew someone who had a lovely sort of faux tan from drinking loads of carrot and green juice as part of an anti-cancer regimen. He looked nice though, not too unnatural.

I think it could be a healing/detox of your liver. I'd say to keep doing the raw foods and drinks. If you have a real concern you may want to see an ND.

Take a look at the picture gallery of raw food people..different degrees of being raw..and you can see how many of them glow with health and some even have before and after pics of themselves and then you tell us what you think is true.

You have posted that link at least twice on different posts..and it promotes a SAD so what is that all about? This is a vegan/raw food website.

My above post stands though..what was remarkable to me was the glow and health people who were following a high or all raw food diet exhibited.

Love,
Prism

I knew a fitness guru in Philly that was orange from all the carrots he ate.
I called him "Golden Boy"
