title: What's up doc?
abstract: Back in November 2010, I read an article in The Telegraph that reported the findings of a research project into how carotenoids including beta-carotene, alpha-carotene and lycopene contained in carrots (and other plants) act as antioxidants to counteract oxygen-related damage to DNA often found in heart disease. I am not surprised to learn that eating carrots not only to make you see better (well that's what my parents insisted) but they have additional properties that may prevent life-threatening illnesses.
