Cancer, Carrots Cause? Propaganda for Genicide

Carrots cause cancer?

 

Consumption of a diet rich in beta-carotene has consistently been linked to

reduced cancer risks.

 

Smokers who consumed 15,000 individual units (IU) beta-carotene in the daily

diet were shown to reduce their lung cancer risk to that of non-smokers. This

should not be entirely a surprise.

 

Beta-carotene is converted by the liver to vitamin A that is essential for the

healthful maintenance of epithelial tissue. Epithelial tissue is your skin --

both inside and out. It is also where cancer is most often located.

 

Medical science decided to conduct a test with supplements to verify whether

beta-carotene reduced cancer risk.

 

Comparing apples to oranges

 

First of all the medical scientists conducted their test with 30 milligrams (mg)

of beta-carotene. The food studies indicated success with 15,000 IU. How does 30

mg. compare to 15,000 IU? Not very well.

 

30 milligrams of beta-carotene is approximately 50,000 IU of beta-carotene. That

is more than three times the amount found in diets noted to reduce cancer risks.

It would take considerable effort for one to consume enough food to obtain

50,000 IU of beta-carotene on a daily basis.

 

The test amount of the medical scientists was excessive. It is not an honest

comparison.

 

Secondly, the beta-carotene in the medical study was man-made. Beta-carotene in

food as provided by The Creator is different. Your body knows the difference.

 

The test variety of the medical scientists was different. It is not an honest

comparison.

 

Thirdly, the medical scientists also added 25,000 IU of retinyl palmitate to

their test subjects. That is a heaping amount of additional vitamin A. It is

also a synthetic variety different from that found in food.

 

The test comparison of the medical scientists added a Certs-ain element -- " two,

two, two variables in one " . Another form of vitamin A that is a synthetic form

as well. This test is not an honest comparison.

 

Should anyone be surprised the results that the medical scientists received was

different than the dietary results showed?

 

Not adding up

 

The medical scientists used a much greater amount of a different variety of

beta-carotene and a large amount of still another variety of vitamin A (that was

also man-made) than the dietary studies with beta-carotene.

 

The medical scientists expressed horror and shock that their study produced more

cancer rather than less as in the dietary studies.

 

The study of the medical scientists was not comparable with the previous dietary

studies and that is the reason it came up with a different answer.

 

The medical scientists blamed the increased cancer on consumption of

beta-carotene. That is not accurate and neither is it honest.

 

Results of a six-year follow-up on those studies by medical scientists were

released in this month's Journal of the National Cancer Institute. Individuals

in those studies still have higher cancer rates than those who didn't take

excessive amounts of man-made varieties of beta-carotene and vitamin A.

 

Does that mean you should avoid beta-carotene in food or supplements? Just what

does this mean?

 

Eat your fruits and veggies!

 

Americans only consume about 4,000 IU beta-carotene daily, according to a report

from the United States Department of Agriculture.

 

The dietary consumption of 15,000 IU beta-carotene in a daily diet as has been

shown to reduce cancer risk is not difficult to obtain. That is the amount in a

healthy portion of fresh carrots, or several moderate portions of dark, leafy

greens and/or lush orange, fleshy fruits.

 

If you use supplements with beta-carotene by all means avoid those with the

synthetic variety.

 

Be sure you get beta-carotene from your food, or from supplements with

beta-carotene that is from food. There is a difference and your body knows the

difference even if allegedly intelligent medical scientists don't.
