Treats Oral Leukoplakia
A new study has found that beta carotene may be an effective treatment for oral leukoplakia, a condition that can lead to cancer. Researchers found that patients who took beta carotene supplements had a significantly reduced risk of developing oral leukoplakia.
It is a powerful antioxidant that has been shown to have cancer-preventing properties. This new study provides strong evidence that beta carotene supplements can help prevent oral leukoplakia, and potentially reduce the risk of developing oral cancer.
Improve eye health
While carrots are commonly thought of as being good for your eyesight, it is the beta carotene found in carrots that is actually responsible for this benefit. When it is consumed, it is converted into Vitamin A in the body, and Vitamin A is essential for eye health. Vitamin A helps to protect the cornea of the eye and also helps to produce tears, which keep the eye moist and comfortable. (4)
Beta Carotene has also been shown to be effective in reducing the risk of developing age-related macular degeneration, which is a leading cause of blindness in older adults. Studies have shown that people who consume foods high in it are less likely to develop macular degeneration than those who do not consume these foods.
