Are Whole Carrots Blended Up Just as Healthy as Just Juicing Them?
Question by Tammy: Are whole carrots blended up just as healthy as just juicing them?
My dad has cancer and we are trying an all veg diet. along with fruits.
Carrot juice is healthy, and I want to know if it is just as healthy to blend up the carrots whole in a blender and eat/drink like a smoothy.
It takes way too many carrots to get an 8 ounce glass and then all of those carrots are wasted after juicing. This is why I opted for just blending them up.
Still as healthy?

Fresh whole carrots are just as healthy as juiced carrots.
Do not eat too many of them, however; skin tends to turn yellow-orange! There’s also a remote chance of Vitamin A poisoning. But you really have to drink gallons of carrot juice for this to happen..
Extract from “The Times of London ” – 15 February 1974
“Carrot juice diet killed scientist
A health food addict who had been drinking up to eight pints of carrot juice a day was bright yellow when he died, an inquest at Croydon. Surrey, was told yesterday. Dr John Fabricius said he believed Mr Basil Brown’ aged 48, a scientific adviser, had died of vitamin A poisoning.
Mrs Brenda Brown, of Hayes Lane, Kenley, the dead man’s wife, told Dr Mary McHugh, the coroner, that she had prepared the carrot juice. “Nobody pre- scribed it. He just thought it was the right way to cat. He also took vitamin A tablets.”
A typical day’s diet for her husband was: breakfast, carrot juice and fruit ; midday, more carrot Juice and fruit; evening meal, eggs, tomatoes, cheese. Dr J. Fabricius, the family’s doctor, told the coroner that he had warned Mr Brown against his addiction to vitamin A. He had warned Mr Brown to stop taking vitamin A and had later sent him to a specialist who also warned him.
Mr Brown had been ‘”an intelligent man but he had a very low opinion of doctors “. Dr David Haler, a pathologist, said that Mr Brown was bright yellow when he died. Vitamin A poisoning, like alcoholic poisoning, produced cirrhosis of the liver. The inquest found that Mr Brown had died from carrot juice addiction.”
