"Also, consideration is being given to the possibility of genetically modifying plants for higher levels of Lycopene and other carotenoids.30 It is a real stretch to call this series of Lycopene reports legitimate science. In my book, this is what I call technological tinkering and marketing, not science. Five years before the latest "discovery" of Lycopene, a graduate student of mine, Youping He, compared four different carotenoids (beta-carotene, Lycopene from tomatoes, canthaxanthin from carrots and cryptoxanthin from oranges) regarding their ability to prevent Cancer in experimental animals."

"Of the more than five hundred carotenoids found in nature, about fifty can be converted into vitamin A in the body. Carotenoids quench singlet oxygen, which is not, chemically speaking, a free radical, but is nevertheless highly reactive and can damage body molecules. Carotenoids also act as anticancer agents, decrease the risk of cataracts and age-related macular degeneration, and inhibit heart disease. Studies have shown that carotenoids found in tomato juice (lycopene), carrots (alpha- and beta-carotene), and spinach (lutein) may help to protect against Cancer by reducing oxidative and other damage to DNA."

"Carotenoids also act as anticancer agents, decrease the risk of cataracts and age-related macular degeneration, and inhibit heart disease. Studies have shown that carotenoids found in tomato juice (lycopene), carrots (alpha- and beta-carotene), and spinach (lutein) may help to protect against Cancer by reducing oxidative and other damage to DNA. Together, the antioxidants alpha-lipoic acid, coenzyme Qio vitamin C, and vitamin E help conserve carotenoids in tissues. The body converts beta-carotene into vitamin A as needed."

"They are a potent family of antioxidants that include alpha-carotene, beta-carotene, Lycopene, lutein, and zeaxanthin. Of the more than five hundred carotenoids found in nature, about fifty can be converted into vitamin A in the body. Carotenoids quench singlet oxygen, which is not, chemically speaking, a free radical, but is nevertheless highly reactive and can damage body molecules. Carotenoids also act as anticancer agents, decrease the risk of cataracts and age-related macular degeneration, and inhibit heart disease."

While one carotenoid is potent in one reaction, the same carotenoid is far less potent for another reaction."

Together, the antioxidants alpha-lipoic acid, coenzyme Qio vitamin C, and vitamin E help conserve carotenoids in tissues. The body converts beta-carotene into vitamin A as needed. Any leftover beta-carotene then acts as an antioxidant, breaking free radical chain reactions and preventing the oxidation of cholesterol."

"Take Carotenoids and Lycopene; Vitamin C and B ioflavonoids Rutin et al. (include Grape seed extract, Pycnogenol, and Bilberry against bruising); B-Complex; B5 and 2000-3000 mg.

"Phytochemicals produce Phase-2 Enzymes that destroy Cancer cells as they attach to normal cells, include Carotenoids (SEE Vitamin A), Ascorbates (SEE Vitamin C), Pectins (SEE under Mineral Hydrocarbon polysaccharides), Isoterpenes, Vitamin E Tocopherols, and Vitamin F Omega-3 essential fatty acids. Phytochemicals will be used in "designed" foods ofthe future. SEE Carotenoid antioxidants Canthaxanthin and Lycopene under Vitamin A. Allicin and AHylic Sulfides in Garlic and Onions, anti-microbial against bacteria, fungus and viruses; protects from stomach Cancer by spurring cells enzymes to neutralize and block carcinogens, used early; inhibit skin and stomach cancers, detoxify cancerous chemicals, researched in China."

"Other active carotenoids are Alpha- and Gamma-Carotenes (found in Carrot oil) Epsilon-Carotene, Lycopene, Lutein, Cryptoxanthin, and Zeaxanthin (8 found in D-Salina Algae, and Betatene product). One meg. retinol equals 6 meg. Beta-Carotene; one meg. Beta-Carotene equals 1.67 International Units of Vitamin A, so 6 mg. of Beta-Carotene provides 10,000 International Units of Vitamin A. A natural form of Vitamin A is Palmitate. Vitamin A is at 1700 mm. in the long wavelength of the spectrum; with molecular weight of 15 0."

"Some beneficial highly colored vegetables include red peppers and tomatoes for their Lycopene and squash, sweet potatoes, and carrots for other carotenoids. Bilberries and blueberries are also antioxidant-rich foods containing flavonoids that strengthen the macula. Regular consumption of these berries is beneficial for preventing and treating ARMD. Other Recommendations Wet ARMD can be treated quite effectively with laser photocoagulation therapy; dry ARMD cannot. Because wet ARMD can rapidly progress to a point where surgery cannot be utilized, the surgery should be performed as soon as possible."
