Is the carrot thing true? That sounds way too big of an effect
The study is here.
10% reduction of less frequent intake of carrots seems more robustly backed by the data. Hopefully, some new study provides more info how big of an effect daily carrots have; see Figure 6.
Ok, I read the abstract, and honestly it’s beyond my understanding of biology. I can usually understand how things interact at least on a basic level, I don’t understand this one
Can you just dump your steam of consciousness understanding of this for me? Ideally I’d like to know how it might interact with cancer/the immune system, but your understanding of the statistics would also be appreciated. I’d like all your thoughts on this, don’t worry about formatting or flow - if you just dump your thoughts on the topic it’ll help me learn from it
If you don’t understand the study itself or in general if you’re interested in it, it’s always a good idea to also read a good news report on it; see this and also this. They found carrot intake rather than beta-carotene, the focus of prior studies, has this association and figure 6 was just to show that they don’t have much data on daily intake of a carrot or more.
Jeez, that’s crazy… That’s an insanely high effectiveness, but it does seem like there’s something behind it. Guess I’m going to buy more carrots
