it is not technically jaundice. the yellowing of the skin (never the white part of the eyes as seen in true jaundice) from eating sweet potatoes carrots etc. is called by carotene (called carotenemia). this is an innocent yellowing of the skin and is unrelated to liver disease or other causes of jaundice.
can eating large amounts of orange vegetables such as sweet potatoes carrots and pumpkin cause jaundice?
