I was just changing sheets and noticed that under the pillow case people's pillows are different colors from one another.
I think I'm the most A-toxic of the family, and yet mine is not very yellow, while the least toxic person's pillow is brown.
Perhaps this has some sort of relevance: I have the dry earwax gene, which is actually kind of rare for a person with European genes. Now, this gene is associated with lower body odor and less sweating. You see where I'm getting at? I actually don't sweat very much. Is this one of the reasons I hang onto vitamin A so well?

I have no idea about my pillow, but I do a lot of saunas and when I use my white towel to lay on I always notice yellow discoloration in certain areas.

Since doing low A, I sweat much more. I sweated very little before. However I didn't recover yet the sweat on my face. It almost completely lacks sweat, I wonder if RA has definitely burned it's sweat glands.

Yes! I was wondering about this! My husbands pillow case always became discolored with a type of oil that was impossible to wash out. I even tried boiling water and dawn dish detergent and neither could touch it. His side of the bed also discolored the mattress. Now I’m thinking that he was sweating out vitamin A.

I have an olive green shirt with armpits that turned pale orange mostly after I started a low VA diet, it almost looks bleached. I just noticed I have a light gray shirt that is also turning a dirty orange under the armpits, around the upper back, and the neckline is even darker brown. The craziest thing, though, is a electric beard trimmer made from light gray plastic that turned orange from holding it in my hand! I know that's from beta carotene when I had obvious carotenemia. The stains on my shirts, on the other hand, look like they could've been made by something more caustic like retinoic acid.

Could some of it be skin color related? My adopted African son's white undershirts and collars get stained brown. One of my adopted daughters has an olive southern European-type complexion. She gets some yellowing on her white gym clothes. The rest of us are very pale and our clothes stay white. We all eat the same. So I always assumed we are sloughing off skin cells and the paler ones are more invisible (If the coloring was more in the armpit area then I would think it was some kind of detox)

I have a white towel with which I usually dry myself after the bath. All my life it turned yellow after wiping. But recently, on a diet, I began to notice that it no longer has these yellow spots that need to be washed.

I took out all of our down comforters and noticed that one of them has a human-shaped stain in brown.
I had "swimmers ear" a while back and my temperature soared for a few days. One of the days I really put off a ton of sweat, more than ever before. I don't really know if it was that comforter that I used, but I suspect it.
So, this would have been several years into lowered VA. Do I now not sweat yellow, but brown?

Isn't it interesting that people put yellow-stained bed linens out in the sun to bleach them?
