<\/span>Potential Uses of Carrot Juice<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nCarrots are an essential source of provitamin A (precursor of vitamin A). Numerous benefits of carrot juice are listed below ^{2<\/sup><\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n}
1. Potential Uses of Carrot Juice for Cancer\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nDias, 2012a; Dias, 2012b ^{4<\/sup><\/a> demonstrated that carrot juice shows antioxidant activity that helps reduce free radicals in the body. A meta-analysis}^{5<\/sup><\/a> that was published in 2014 demonstrated that taking high amounts of carrots may be associated with lowering the risk of lung cancer by 21%. The bio-active compounds in carrot juice may have a potential negative effect on the formation of tumours. This may indicate that carrot juice may have the potential to decrease the risks of certain types of cancers.^{<\/sup>However, you must consult a doctor before including carrot juice in your diet for its benefit, as the available research is insufficient, and there is a need for further studies to establish the mentioned effects of carrot juice on human health.\u00a0<\/p>}}
