Guest guest Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 Hi, Ted, and thanks for the input. However, this is more of what I used to believe and am now very unsure of. I have recently come across more than one reference (but didn't have enough brain to capture them) about many people (especially those hypothyroid, which I am) not being able to effectively do the conversion of the beta carotene into Vit.A. This has given me real pause, and a real personal interest, since I've always had a yellow cast to my skin. At this point, I've not turned up a lot of solid info about this conversion factor and would welcome anything anyone might know about it.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Why not try eating whole foods? It ain't the A and it ain't the B or the C or the D; it is the combination in whole food which allows a person to be healthy, in my view. Eating carrots does not prevent absorbtion of Vitamin D. You can even eat carrots and kale together with a lemon juice dressing. Nature is a particular gal and I'd bet she knows a heckofalot more about what we need than do corporate lab dudes with a quest to make a product marketable. Cheers Kathy K P.S. Since I know you have strong faith, why not check out Genesis 29 which talks about food you are to eat? oleander soup , " judithmarg " <judithmarg wrote: > > Hi, Ted, and thanks for the input. > > However, this is more of what I used to believe and am now very unsure of.
