why jaundice is caused
Jaundice is the medical term that describes yellowing of the skin and eyes. This condition forms when there is too much bilirubin in your system. Bilirubin is a yellow pigment that is formed by the breakdown of dead red blood cells in the liver.f you only have yellow skin, itâs more likely due to having too much beta-carotene in your system. Beta-carotene is an antioxidant found in carrots and pumpkins. An excess of this antioxidant is not a cause of jaundice.
