It is well known that beetroots are full of health nutrients
such as essential vitamins, calcium, iron, potassium, and protein. But
excessive consumption of the same can have some side effects that definitely vary
person to person.
Can lead to kidney stone:
Beets are high in oxalates which can form small crystals
and lead to the development of kidney stones. So, eat beets in moderation, if you
are prone to kidney stone.
Can contribute to gout:
Oxalates in beets can cause gout - a type of arthritis -
because it increases the level of uric acid in the body.
Beeturia:
A lot of beet consumption can result in pink or red urine
and stool. It is caused by the betalain pigment secretion. It might not
cause any serious health problems, though.
Tightness in vocal cords:
Some people feel tightness in throat or trouble in speaking.
Drinking undiluted beetroot juice might (might not, in some cases) lead to this
problem. Drinking beet juice with apple juice or other fresh vegetable juices
in cocktail keeps the problem at bay.
Fever, chill, and rashes:
Some people experience fever, chills, and rashes after
consuming beet juice. Detoxification and cleansing creates temporary symptoms
such as a low fever or chills. Rashes may be reported as a result of allergy. Though,
it is very uncommon.
