I just read a question about eating carrots. Now I love eating carrots and eat a 500g bag every day in addition to a varied diet. is this harmful?

I heard from someone that eating carrots every day is not healthy. I eat these as a snack in addition to my normal diet. Is eating carrots every day harmful?

Answer

Dear Margot,

This is not harmful provided that you eat other vegetables in addition to those carrots. Not every vegetable contains the same vitamins and minerals. A varied diet is important. Carrots as a snack are good; you can possibly alternate with, for example, an apple.
