Although carrot is called "the treasure house of vitamin A", the carotene that can be converted into vitamin A under the action of intestinal mucosa is a fat-soluble substance, which can only be fully absorbed by human body if it is cooked with edible oil or meat. So carrots are not suitable for raw food.

Causes of Carcinogenesis of Carotene
According to the nutritionist's analysis, supplementing 5 mg of carotene every day can really inhibit cancer, and taking too much carotene will prevent vitamin A from combining with the corresponding receptor, thus preventing the transformation of tumor suppressor genes, and the result is not cancer inhibition but cancer.
Abroad, a large number of experiments have proved that eating too much carotene can cause cancer: Finland conducted a group control experiment on 29,000 smokers over 50 years old. One group took carotene regularly and quantitatively, and the other group was a normal control group. The results showed that the incidence of lung cancer in the group taking carotene was 28% higher than that in the normal control group. Two studies in the United States have similar results.
