TRUE.
It takes a tremendous amount of carrots but your skin will take on an orange hue due to ingesting carotene contained in yellow or orange fruits and vegetables. sweet potatoes, cantaloupe, pumpkin, etc. However, you must eat a great deal of these foods to develop the syndrome. Much more than anyone normally would. These foods contain a protein pigment, 'carotene' which seeks out the skin to store itself.
Drinking a few glasses of carrot juice daily will give you a nice orange glow.
