- An
English-Danish study has found that a component of carrots called
falcarinol and beta-carotene, another cancer fighter may be able to
prevent cancer. In the study, rats that were fed either raw carrots or
just the falcarinol extracted from the carrots demonstrated a delay in the
growth of the colon tumors that the researchers were studying. The
falcarinol study used raw carrots and it is not known how cooking would
affect the cancer-preventing quality of falcarinol.
