Although it is a long-running myth that tomatoes can turn your skin red, the fact is that there are currently no documented cases of this happening.

Carrots on the other hand have been proven to turn one’s skin orange if they consume enough of it because of the high amount of carotene which goes into the body. This is likely where the myth regarding tomatoes being able to turn one’s skin red originated from, though there is currently no evidence to suggest that it is in any way true.

Tomatoes do offer a number of health benefits though, such as the ability to offset prostate cancer.
