LONDON – The three-year-old Leo Barnett cannot eat carrots any longer, because otherwise he turns orange. This is caused by a medical condition which is called hyper-beta carotenemia, and most likely he is the only person in Great Britain who has it.
He needs to stick to a strict diet because he cannot digest carotene. This is what his mother Angie Barnett said: ‘His liver can’t get rid of it, so it builds up and turns him orange, it means the stuff that’s really good for you he can’t eat – except cauliflower.’
