Regular snacks of baby carrots bring significantly more antioxidant protection, new study finds
Fox News
A study from researchers at Samford University in Alabama found that snacking three times a week on nutritious baby carrots "significantly increased" skin carotenoids in young adults.
"Carrots are commonly known for their rich sources of vitamin A and carotenoids, specifically beta-carotene." The researchers now want to study the effects of other carotenoid-rich foods, such as sweet potato or leafy green vegetables. "There could be differences in how carotenoids are absorbed, depending on whether they are from food or supplements." Maureen Mackey is managing editor of lifestyle for Fox News Digital.
The small study found that snacking on baby carrots just three times a week "significantly increased" skin carotenoids in young adults, according to a June 30 media release.
