concerns

Consumption of beetroot may also cause your urine to become pink or red, which is harmless but often confused for blood. Beet greens contain high levels of oxalates, which can contribute to kidney stone formation. Beetroots contain FODMAPs in the form of fructans, which are short-chain carbs that feed your gut bacteria. FODMAPs can cause unpleasant digestive upset in sensitive individuals, such as those with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

precautions

Avoid DIY skincare using beetroot to lower the chance of irritation.
