British scientist and nutritionist Dr. Basil Brown died following a dangerous experiment involving carrot juice and vitamin A, according to reports. The 48-year-old consumed approximately 10 gallons (45 liters) of carrot juice combined with concentrated vitamin A supplements over 10 days, leading to hypervitaminosis—a condition causing severe liver damage and organ failure. Forensic analysis revealed his liver showed signs comparable to chronic alcohol abuse, while his skin exhibited a yellowish-orange discoloration due to carotene accumulation.
Separately, a St. Petersburg mother reported her 13-year-old son was poisoned after taking a weight-loss supplement called “Molecule” for two days, resulting in heightened anxiety and a critical health decline.
