Did You Know?

• Carrots are an excellent source of antioxidant compounds and the richest vegetable source of the pro-vitamin A carotenes. Antioxidant compounds found in carrots help to promote good vision and protect against cardiovascular diseases and several cancers—lung cancer.
• Vitamin A helps maintain a healthy immune system. It is needed for healthy epithelial cells that line every organ in the body, including the outer skin. It also stimulates enzymes that repair damaged DNA.
• Beta-carotene and other phytochemicals in carrots enhance cellular communication that stops abnormal replication of neighboring cells (cancer).
• Taking a beta-carotene pill alone is not enough to fight cancer. Just eat 1 oz. of carrots. This meets 110% of an adult’s RDA for vitamin A. It meets 330% of a child’s RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance). Raw carrots are the best!
• The fiber in carrots prevent their natural sugar from rushing into the bloodstream and causing an insulin spike.
