Dietary carotenoids are thought to provide health benefits in decreasing the risk of disease, particularly certain cancers and eye disease. The carotenoids that have been most studied in this regard are beta-carotene, lycopene, lutein, and zeaxanthin. In part, the beneficial effects of carotenoids are thought to be due to their role as antioxidants.

You really ARE what you eat: Forget sunbathing, munching just two extra portions of fruit and veg a day gives you a more attractive skin glow than a suntan.

* Eating plenty of fruit and vegetables gives skin a golden 'carotenoid' glow
* Majority of people rated this yellow glow more attractive than a suntan
* Carotenoids are important for our immune and reproductive systems
* Scientists suggest 'carotenoid' glow signals health to potential mates

Vitamin D deficiency soars in the U. S., study says

Three-quarters of U. S. teens and adults are deficient in vitamin D, the so-called "sunshine vitamin" whose deficits are increasingly blamed for everything from cancer and heart disease to diabetes, according to new research.

The trend marks a dramatic increase in the amount of vitamin D deficiency in the U. S., according to findings set to be published tomorrow in the Archives of Internal Medicine.
