Carrots and sweet potatoes may prove to be a vital weapon against breast cancer in the early stages of the disease, say scientists. A study has found that a nutrient in carrots and sweet potatoes, called retinoic acid, can reverse the early changes in cells that lead to breast cancer in woman. The chemical, which affects cell growth and proliferation, can also rejuvenate the skin, and a weak version of it is used in anti-winkle face creams. The study points the way to developing promising cancer treatments based on it, the scientists say.
