Flamingos are not born pink, but through their diet absorb pigments that get deposited into their feathers which turns them from white to pink. Similarly, our own diet can effect the color of our skin if we were to eat high concentrations of food with absorbable pigments. For instance, if we ate a large amount of carrots and summer squash that contain beta-carotene, what color would you expect the skin to take on?' Yellow-green orange-green Yellow-orange Red
