Eating too much healthy food has downsides, nutrition experts say - abc7
Some nutrition experts say there is such a thing as eating too much healthy food.
Foods with beta carotene, the orange pigment plentiful in vegetables like carrots and sweet potatoes, supply the body with vitamin A and help fight cell damage.
But too much beta carotene can cause your skin to turn an orange color.
Many fruits and vegetables are packed with fiber, as are beans and whole grains. But upping your fiber intake too much, too soon, can cause gas and bloating.
Too much fiber overall may also block the absorption of some nutrients.
