Vegetable Consciousness

Side Dish Vitamins:

• Vitamin A
• Vitamin C
• Vitamin E
• Selenium
• Beta Carotene

Lemon juice: high in Vitamin C; it keeps apple slices from turning brown

Beta Carotene:

• can inhibit both initiation and promotion process in cancer formation
• may make "tumors regress"
• associated with the "killing of both humanand animal tumor cells"
• "affects chemically induced tumors" (p357)
• splits in two inside your stomach and these two parts turn into Vitamin A (only 40% of the molecules do this)
• Retinol Vitamin A, from liver, eggs, milk and Vitamin A pills, race straight to your liver, where it is stored for future use and may cause problems if you take too much
• cannot get to the liver because it's too big, so it is stored in the fat layers under your skin...it just sits there until it is needed.

"Many of the good effects of Vitamin A come not so much from Vitamin A itself but from Beta Carotene from vegetables." p357.
