Carotenes--The Cancer Killers

Carotenes are among the most important antioxidant nutrients and immune power builders known. The animal-derived (liver) and synthetic vitamin A (another chemical), are toxic to the body in large doses. When vitamin A comes from the orange-red, natural vegetable pigment known as beta carotene, also called pro-vitamin A, it is therapeutic--see chart below.


Your body converts beta carotene to vitamin A as needed. And it stores any excess in the blood, lymph, liver and fatty tissue. Since these areas are where many toxic chemicals also get stored, carotenes help protect fatty tissue and cell membranes from toxic chemical and other types of damage. Pro-vitamin A is essential in your diet for your body to have healthy epithelial tissue. This tissue forms your body’s largest organ--your skin. It also forms the mammary glands and mucous membranes--your inner skin--which line all the organ systems of your body. Vitamin A deficiency has been linked with higher incidence of cancer in epithelial tissue, which accounts for well over half of all cancers.
