Turns out your kid CAN eat too many vegetables…

As parents, getting our kids to eat their veggies is a constant battle, but one that the adults are determined to win since they provide essential nutrients your little one needs to grow. But, is it possible that your child could be eating too many veggies? New research suggests that it is possible. What should you know?

Key Takeaways:

• It turns out my kiddo’s affection for carrots, sweet potatoes, squash, and pumpkin is not necessarily a good thing. His fondness for orange vitamin A-rich veggies was definitely affecting his skin color.
• Once you back off on the orange veggies, it resolves itself quickly.Conversely, you can get too much from other food sources (like liver) and supplements, but it’s rare.
• As a mom of three, I thought there wasn’t much that could surprise me anymore. Getting “schooled” for vegetables definitely got me!
