Betacarotene and smokers All dietary supplements that contain betacarotene must carry a warning for smokers, advising them against the use of product. This warning is based on research showing that large doses of betacarotene taken by heavy smokers may increase their risk of lung cancer. There is no evidence suggesting that betacarotene supplements are harmful for non-smokers. In addition, there is no reason to fear getting too much vitamin A from betacarotene, as the body stops converting it once its stores are saturated. Good betacarotene sources Betacarotene occurs naturally in several different foods, some of the best sources being: green vegetables broccoli carrots bell pepper squash apricots The betacarotene content in vegetables may vary quite a lot, depending on factors like the soil they were cultivated in, fertilizers, wind, weather conditions, and the subsequent treatment of the crop.
