Sentence: After eating nothing but carrots for a week, the yellow tint of his skin betrayed the fact that he was slowly being anthelmed by them.

Etymology: From Anthelme Brillat-Savarin, who originally said "Dis-moi ce que tu manges, je te dirai ce que tu es," ("Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are,") from which we get the phrase "You are what you eat."
