A+ for Carrot Juice the golden root.

Since the easter bunny is arriving soon - a posting on his favourite food.

Carrots…
No other vegetable contains as much beta carotene as a carrot. The liver turns beta carotene into vitamin a - our liver will store vitamin a until it is needed by the body.
Carrots are also good source of - Calcium, Sodium, Vitamin C, Phosphorus, Vitamin A, Vitamin E, Potassium, B Vitamins and Vitamin K.

One 8-oz. glass of carrot juice contains 20,000 mg. of vitamin A. *Toxicity can occur when vitamin A is taken in supplement form or in fish oil, but is completely safe in the vegetable form - if you over do it with carrot juice however your skin may temporarily turn an orangey colour!

Deficiency in vitamin A can lead to a wide variety of ailments.
Bladder, kidney, mouth, tonsil, sinus, tongue, ear canal, eyes, tear ducts, dry skin, on and on...
