What it does:In the body, beta carotene is converted tovitamin A, a nutrient essential for healthy
vision, immu
ne f u
nction and cell growth.
It also acts as an antioxidant thatneutralizes free radicals.
More carrots, less cancer?After early research linked diets rich in beta carotene with
reduced risk for cancer, scientists supposed that beta-carotenesupplements might also help prevent cancer. Unfortunately,two large clinical trials in the 1990s revealed that taking mega-dose beta-carotene supplements increased rates of lung cancerin smokers. Test-tube research shows that, in high doses, betacarotene can act as a pro-oxidant (boosting free-radicalproduction and risk of disease) and this might happen in thebody, too, says Robert R ussell, M.D., director of the JeanMayer USDAHuman Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts
University.
