Evidence from observational epidemiological studies has shown that a high consumption of fruits and vegetables rich in carotenoids is associated with a low risk for cancer. However, some human intervention trials failed to demonstrate prevention of cancer by ss-carotene supplements. This book is an up-to-date and comprehensive analysis of pharmacological, toxicological reports and clinical ... Read more
