Beta-Carotene May Help Destroy Leukemia Cells
In a recent study using human leukemia cells, researchers looked at the ability of various carotenoids to induce cancer cell death. Carotenoids are natural pigments and antioxidants found abundantly in most fruits and vegetables. Of all the cartoenoids, beta-carotene showed the most promise in destroying leukemia cells. This study goes along with previous cell research showing the effectiveness of beta-carotene to inspire cell death in different types of cancer cells.
