I was wrong about beta carotene

[Deleted member 23558]

I dont think its as bad as I thought. Trouble seems to come from upregulated enzymes in some people for whateever reason that cleaves beta C to form retinoic acid which IS harmful.

What changes? I meant that its not as toxic as I thought, not that it will make you superman

All carotenoids get converted into retinol at a ratio of approx 12:1. Retinol is then oxidized to retinal and retinoic acid, the two main active vitamin A metabolites in the body. Eating carotenoids is useless, if you want true vitamin A (retinol) then eat Liver and get it directly.

Point of it is to get something like a tan no ?

Beta-carotene is hardly any problem even if u've got insanely high conversion rate of beta c to vitamin A, aslong as u dont eat two of the highest sources (carrots and sweet potatoes) on top of a diet rich in animal vitamin A

The point is to not get vitamin A.

Yes, the probelm is retinoic acid excess which allows for uncontrolled bone and tissue differentiation and slowing down of thyroid.

Why? Vitamin A is extremely important. Most people are defficient.

I consume about 15g of raw liver daily and feel fantastic. My skin complextion is really good too. Very high T/sex drive. Haven't seen any negatives.

Liver actually has higher proportion of esters of Retinol rather than free retinol ( around 3 percent if I remember correctly) so it’s not as bad .

Artificial Vitamin A has been linked to cancers AFAIK. Just eat a few carrots everyday, and you're good.

Makes sense. I normally have a carrot a day too.

carrots don’t provide retinoic acid which is a good thing.
