Answer
Hi Sophie,

I am wondering where you heard such a knuclehead idea. Neither carrots or watermelon will hurt you in any way, although you cannot just live off of such substances. Watermelon has hardly any nutritional value, however, and carrots have some nutritional value but not all that much either. I have heard that if you eat enormous amounts of carrots, the carotene may cause some yellowish colorization of your skin, but I have never witnessed such phenomenon.

I do hope that this has answered your questions, but please feel free to inquire further if you need further information.

Good luck,

Terence A. Russell
