Is Beta-Carotene Harmful?
Synthetic beta-carotene has been found to potentially increase lung cancer in smokers. The results are not relevant for natural beta-carotene, which has been found to be safe for smokers. Natural beta-carotene has an antioxidant activity that is distinct from the synthetic form. In one clinical trial, pre cancerous changes in people reverted to normal tissue with natural beta-carotene supplements, but not with synthetic supplements. Increasingly, nutritionally oriented doctors recommend that people supplement only natural beta-carotene. Unfortunately, the major OTC eye vitamin companies continue to use synthetic beta-carotene because it is less expensive to manufacture. Several companies are now marketing a "smokers safe" formula by simply omitting the synthetic beta-carotene - again, a less expensive option as compared to switching to the safer natural beta-carotene.
