Medical argument against it actually, as you remove most of the healthy stuff.
Comment on Carrot
NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 1 day agoI mean, that's reason to wash it, but I don't think there's a medical argument for peeling. Could be wrong though, but I've never heard of this being a problem ever.

Some, but not most. There’s significant nutrition in the phloem (layer under the skin) which is not removed by peeling. And even the center has nutritional value. It is best to peel them just before using rather than let them sit around once peeled, since the peel protects them.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think I’ll be sick if I eat the outer layer, I’m just grossed out by the thought.

Oh boy do I have bad news for you.
Basically everything in your environment is covered in human poop.
If you bring a carrot into your home it has way less poop on it than your toothbrush.
