I Carrot About You Info.

A carrot is loaded with beta-carotene, a powerful antioxidant effective in fighting against some forms of cancer. Research shows that eating carrots can help protect you against stoke & heart disease. Carrots also are a great source of fiber, vitamin C, vitamin k, folate & manganese, & a good source of vitamin B6, iron, & potassium. You get the best benefit if you eat carrots raw. A bag of organic carrots is only about one dollar. They are great to keep in the refrigerator and grab when you want a snack.

(When I took Hannahlily for her baby exam about 22 years ago her doctor took one look at my orange baby and said "You're feeding her too many carrots!" )
