Do you have any hard evidence that beta carotene prevents cancer or you are just trying to advertise this web site ?!

PS: "plants & beta carotene being from them" reminds of "sherlock and no manure" for some reason...

If carrots are so magical, why did ancient civilizations with quite a lot knowledge of plants not revere them?

whatever about the trying to flog stuff, everyone needs to get themselves a juicer and juice some carrots and drink it. I don't know about preventing cancer and stuff, but it tastes velly goooood! And there is some evidence (from a "the benefits of fresh veggie juice" book) that it is rather good for the old organism.

It seems like it matters where the vitamin stems from. A study conducted in Finland showed, that taking this particular vitamin suplement actually would increase the persons risk of contracting lung cancer. www(dot)cancer.gov/newscenter/pressreleases/ATBCfollowup
Taken from the same site
"Epidemiologic studies have linked high intake of foods rich in beta carotene and high serum levels of the micronutrient to a reduced risk of cancer, particularly lung cancer." I couldn't find any of these studies, but know that Vitamin A in excessive levels is toxic, since we store it in our fatty tissues. So maybe it isn't the beta carotene in the carrots which affects the cancer in a positive way but other antioxidants?
