It is well
established that carrots are a healthy food. They contain many important
nutrients-beta carotene and other carotenoids, B vitamins, vitamin C, the
minerals calcium and potassium, and much more. Of all of these, it is beta
carotene that traditionally has received the most attention.
Beta carotene
Beta carotene is one of about 500 similar compounds called carotenoids, which
are present in many fruits and vegetables. The body changes beta carotene into
vitamin A, which is important in strengthening the immune system and promoting
healthy cell growth. However, beta carotene is much more than the precursor for
vitamin A. Only so much beta carotene can be changed into vitamin A, and that
which is not changed contributes to boosting the immune system and is also a
potent antioxidant. Antioxidants fight free radicals and help prevent them from
causing membrane damage, DNA mutation, and lipid (fat) oxidation, all of which
may lead to many of the diseases that we consider
""degenerative.""
Alpha carotene
Beta carotene is not the only carotenoid. Often overlooked, and also found in
carrots, is alpha carotene. According to an article in NCI Cancer Weekly (Nov.
13, 1989), Michiaki Murakoshi, who leads a team of biochemists at Japan's Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine,
contends that alpha carotene may be more powerful than beta carotene in
inhibiting processes that may lead to tumor growth. Murakoshi indicates that
neuroblastoma (cancer) cells coated with carotenoids experience a drop in N-myc
activity compared to untreated cells. N-myc is a gene that codes for cell
growth-stimulating proteins and can contribute to cancer formation and growth.
Alpha carotene was found to be about ten times more inhibitory toward N-myc
activity than beta carotene. Murakoshi concludes that all types of carotenoids
should be studied for possible health benefits.
In sum, alpha carotene and beta carotene, like all nutrients found in
vegetables and fruits, have health benefits. Indeed, The 1995 Dietary
Guidelines for Americans, released by the U.S. government, states that
"The antioxidant nutrients found in plant foods (vitamin C, carotene,
vitamin E, and the mineral selenium) are presently of great interest to
scientists and the public because of their potentially beneficial role in
reducing the risk of cancer and certain other chronic diseases.
