    it can, it just depends. If you eat massive amounts of carrots, you can absorb more carotene than your body can purge, and you'll take on a decidedly orange hue to your skin. Too many bananas can lead to an imbalance of potassium.

    too much of ANYTHING, even good things, can be bad.

    Nah. Youre fine. All of the vitamins and minerals from the fruits and veggies are used by your body. Whatever is NOT used, the body discards on its own. However, too much calcium for an extended period of time can actually lead to your bones becoming brittle.

    i believe having too much "veg&fruit" renders your brain unable to spell.

    i'd have it looked at by a doctor. you may have a tumor.

    "i jus wanna no owt of curoisity" you may already be dead.

    I heard eating too much carrots can make your skin orange. That would be weird everyone would be all like hey looks its that orange guy. haha. Then the orange person would be sad and run away. Becoming the O-Hulk. Smashing all which comes in his path. Eating fields of farmers carrots and never looking back on it.

    Then one day the O-hulk found Mary-Lou his first love interest, but Mary did not love the O-Hulk. In order for the O-hulk to get her attention he started eating only lettuce causing his skin to turn green in hopes that his transformation to the Hulk would impress her. But sadly it did not.

    One stormy night the hulk wondered what he used to look like and pondered his very Hulk like existence. Finally he fell asleep into a comma... or so they thought.

    The next day Mary came back to apologize for insulting the hulk. When she found him in the state he was she brought him to the hospital, simply hoping it was not her fault. Finally after six months of waiting by his bedside he arose with his natural pinky skin tone back and his eyes clearer and crisper than ever.

    That morn when she walked in he said hello, love to which Mary replied as tears trickled down her face. Y-your awake... I'm sorry.

    They then went back to the spot where she found the hulk lying in his comma like state. The hulk then realized that he was simply hibernating and told Mary that if their was anything he could do to ease the pain of realization, of all the months she gave up for him. To which she replied all but one you have already so my love.. Marry me.

    Many of us have come to believe that eating healthier means eating lots of fruits and vegetables. While fruits and vegetables are much better for you than refined foods like cookies and chips, my experiences and research have led me to believe that too much fruit can be harmful to your health.

    A lot of the fruit that is grown today is much higher in sugar than they would be in a natural environment. Have you ever tasted a wild blueberry? How about a wild apple? On their own, they are delicious, but you may be surprised to discover that they aren't nearly as sweet as modern day varieties. Over thousands of years, humans have been able to make fruits larger and sweeter than their wild predecessors through hybridization.

    But sugar from fruit is natural, so you should be able to eat as much as you want, right? This question is best asked of fruitarians - people who eat nothing but raw fruits. It is not uncommon for a strict fruitarian to eat five bananas and five dates for breakfast, one large canteloupe for lunch, and five large peaches for dinner.

    Some fruitarians take a more balanced approach and eat lots of less sweet, seed-bearing fruits like tomatoes and zuchinni. They also eat plenty of greens like romaine lettuce.

    Regardless of which approach is taken, I have not met a single strict fruitarian of more than two years who didn't have significant health challenges. The most common challenges are dental decay, osteoporosis, wasting of muscle tissue, inability to maintain a healthy weight, chronic fatigue, skin problems, thinning hair, weakening nails, and excessive irritability.

    To much of anything can be harmful to your body. When Hitler was causing havoc he made people drink water until they died! So even mass amounts of water can be harmful, so can to much fruits and vegetables. But the likely hood that you are going to be able to eat enough of it to be harmful is VERY slim!

    I suppose technically you could overdo it and build up too much of a certain vitamins like vit. C (say if you ate TONS of oranges). They say too much of anything is bad for you (even water, you can actually get water poisoning like alcohol poisoning).
