Suddenly experiencing some unexpected side effects? You don’t have any food sensitivities, so what could be the cause? Then it could be that you have eaten the following foods, so let’s find out which ones have particular side effects!
Carrots
There’s nothing wrong with carrots, so it’s only right to eat more of them. But if you eat too many, our skin turns orange because excess beta-carotene builds up in our skin, especially in our palms and feet, which can easily turn yellow. This happens even if we eat a lot of pumpkin and peanuts, which are rich in beta-carotene.
Asparagus
Asparagus is also very nutritious, but some people experience side effects when they eat it. That is a strange odour in urine 15-30 minutes after eating asparagus. This smell is the result of the sulphur compounds contained in asparagus, which are produced during digestion.
Blackberries
Eating blackberries can also have an effect on the colour of your urine. Urine turns pink after eating beetroot or blackberries. It is normal, so there is nothing to worry about.
Sugar-free chewing gum
Sugar-free chewing gum contains an artificial sweetener called sorbitol, an ingredient that can cause diarrhoea. Some studies have shown that the sorbitol component is difficult to absorb into the intestines and has the effect of introducing water from the blood into the intestines, which can lead to diarrhoea if too much is consumed.
