Is it dangerous or bad to consume more than a cup of carrot juice in one day?!


Question: Is it dangerous or bad to consume more than a cup of carrot juice in one day.?
I got some carrot juice, and the stuff is really supposed to be good for you. I just saw that it has 700% of the recommended daily intake of Vitamin A in one serving, and that made me wonder if having more than one serving would be bad for me. Health Question & Answer

I think what you're looking for is this:

Vitamin A toxicity can occur with long-term consumption of 20 mg of retinol or more per day. ... For example, about 30 grams of beef liver, 500 grams of eggs, or 2,500 grams of mackerel would supply 10 mg of retinol.

The US RDA for vitamin A is 5000 IU.
1 IU = .3 mcg retinol, so 5000 IU is 1500mcg.
1mcg = .001mg, so 1500mcg is 1.5mg.

One serving of your carrot juice is 700% of the RDA, or 35000 IU = 10500mcg = 10.5mg of vitamin A, which is about half the toxicity level for the vitamin. This means drinking two glasses per day will exceed that toxicity level by 1mg, plus you'll be taking in more A throughout the day, making it even worse.

I hope this is what you were looking for.
