Beta Carotin useful or harmful?

Beta Carotin useful or harmful (openPR) - beta Carotin stands for a long time in suspicion to stand in connection with cancer of the lungs. On the other side beta Carotin possesses an anti-oxidative and thus health-favorable effect. But which is now correctly Whether Carotin is now useful or harmful, commentates today Anja Baustian of the society for nourishing medicine Diät

etik registered association from Aachen.

Beta Carotin ranks among the group of the Carotinoide. Carotinoide are secondary plant materials, which are responsible for the reddish and yellowish colouring of vegetable and fruit. According to the Federal Ministry for risk evaluation (BfR) a desirable beta Carotin admission is about 2-4 Milligramm per day. Main beta Carotin sources is yellow and green sheet vegetables as well as yellow fruits, in particular carrots, spinach and Kürbis and Brokkoli, grapefruits, Mangos, peaches and tomatoes. The secondary plant material is able to protect cell membranes against oxidative damage. Furthermore further studies assume immune-stimulating effects. For subpopulations, which take up very small quantities of Vitamin A, beta Carotin possesses rich vegetable and fruit a great importance for the covering of the daily Vitamin A need. Because 12 micro gram of beta Carotin can be converted in the body equivalent to 1 micro gram Vitamin A.

The ATBC and the CARET study pointed negative effects out of beta Carotin. According to these investigations the cancer of the lungs rate rose on with strong smokers and asbestos workers, to who per day of 20 Milligramm isolated beta Carotin in combination with Vitamin A, Vitamin E was alone given or. Increased far itself the number of the deaths by heart cycle diseases with myocardial infarctions already existing. In the Physicians Health Study however were present with a Supplementierung with 50 Milligramm beta Carotin or Aspirin per day over 13 years neither positive nor negative effect. Since these realizations the bioactive substance came ever more into the headlines. Some consumers are afraid now, by photographs of beta Carotin rich food auxiliary means as well as enriched juices a increased cancer of the lungs risk.

In the criticism some juice manufacturers continue to stand. They try to go around the negative image from beta Carotin to and define the ACE juices with pro Vitamin A instead of the actual name of the bioactive substance. Which a further component in the disconcertion of the consumers represents.

Newest regulations of the Federal institut for medicaments, which stepped since May 2006 into force, consider the intervention studies mentioned in your evaluation. All medicines, which beta Carotin contains, must contain a reference that these medicines contain a increased risk for smokers to get sick with cancer of the lungs. Contained medicines more than 20 Milligramm beta Carotin, no more may not be used up at smokers. By the consumption of food no danger exists, since for example 100 gram of carrots contain only 6 Milligramm beta Carotin. Additionally the bio-availability of the substance and degree of processing of the food must be considered.

Finally regarded beta Carotin is better receptible by the body in isolated form, than in native form made of vegetable and fruit. Thus no danger is recognizable with a daily vegetable and fruit consumption. A increased risk with strong smokers and simultaneous income of beta Carotin Supplementen exists further. However smoking should be located to more in the focus of the criticism. With food auxiliary means if the maximum quantities for beta Carotin, recommended by the BfR, are kept, exists also for this product group none consider regarding the health. 3,791 indications
