I don't know if they're bad for candidat but I've been eating 5 carrots a day, first thing in the morning and the main thing I've noticed are intestinal worms in my stools, so I googled and it says carrots do remove intestinal worms. I didn't even know I had them. I feel significantly better and my skin is glowing. I'm going to keep doing this because raw carrots are so easy to carry around, I just eat them while I'm driving and I chew very well, that's important and I drink a lot of water because if you don't you may get constipated, they're bulky.
