My parents have a juicer - there's nothing like fresh carrot & apple juice!

Don't overdo it though Yorick, as has been mentioned the carotene (orange pigment in carrots) would turn you orange and also vitamin A is TOXIC in large quantities - it is stored in body fat so you don't get rid of excess - it can build up and poison you. You shouldn't take more than 100% of your allowance daily. (Overdoing it once won't do damage, but if you drank the whole bottle in one day give it a rest for a week to let your body process the vitamin A from that carrotfest!)

But other than those warnings, enjoy your juice!
