How would you like to halve your cancer risk, starting now?
Beta carotene can do the trick.
More than 100 studies prove it.
Because – unlike most anti-oxidants – beta carotene locks its crosshairs onto a specific free-radical. A pesky cell-killer known as ‘singlet oxygen.’
Without it, this devastating molecule is free to run riot. It corrupts your cell genes, turns their fats rancid and damages their structure. Eventually the whole body gives up – and that’s when cancer can arise.
But it’s not beta carotene’s cancer preventing ability which fascinates me most
What amazed me was beta carotene’s effect on people already suffering cancer.
Women with breast cancer, for instance. The ones who took the most beta carotene showed 12% better survival rates over a 6-year period. A similar study was conducted on men with colon cancer. Just 30mg of beta carotene per day slowed the cancer 44% within a fortnight.
After 9 weeks that number had risen to 57%.
Of course, you don’t need an oncologist to know: if you can halve the speed cancer spreads, you dramatically increase your chances of survival.
So think what beta carotene could do for you right now…
…What might it prevent?
It doesn’t stop at cancer. You’d also slam the brakes on heart disease, stroke and cardio illnesses. In a study on physicians, subjects took 50 milligrams of beta carotene every other day. Fatal heart attacks were halved.
Another study tested beta carotene on 90,000 female nurses. Those taking more than 11,000IUs reduced their heart disease risk 22%.
Can you eat 5 carrots a week?
Well, according to a Harvard study, that’s all you need to reduce your stroke risk 68%.
But you must start taking this NOW
In fact, here’s what The Alliance for Aging Research had to say…
“Adults should take 10 milligrams (17000IU) to 30 milligrams (50000IU) of beta carotene daily for life!”

…Because beta carotene takes time to build up in your system.
Suppose you’ve smoked for years and wanted to turn the tables on lung cancer. You would need to take beta carotene every day for 12 YEARS. So you’d better start right now.
Where to get beta carotene
Supplements should never be a replacement for food, of course.
However, beta carotene is absorbed much more effectively through a pill. And it keeps your levels high – regardless of what you eat and how its prepared. I suggest taking 10-15 milligrams a day – just to be certain you’re getting enough.
Also, divide the dosage across 3 different meal times. Beta carotene needs to be taken with a certain amount of fat. Otherwise it cannot be absorbed in the body. Studies show this boosts your beta carotene levels 3X compared to a single, large dose.
Carrots undoubtedly have more beta carotene than any other food. 1 cup contains 24.2 milligrams.
Just be careful not to overcook vegetables, because this kills their beta carotene. Boil or steam them so they’re just underdone and still have some crunch.
