Carrots Play a role in low density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation to the atherosclerotic process which approved the examination of β-carotene as a possible preventive agent. Several epidemiological studies show an inverse association between serum/adipose β-carotene levels and coronary heart disease risk. after undergoes clinical tests, however

Epidemiological evidence of Carrots in reducing risk factors of CHD:Other carotenoids that are correlated with β-carotene both in the diet and in the blood might be important factors, as might other plant-derived compounds. Alternatively, low serum carotenoid levels may reflect either increased lipoprotein density or the presence of inflammation, both factors emerging as important novel risk factors for coronary heart disease. Whereas the trial results support no preventive role for β-carotene, the epidemiological evidence does generally support the idea that a diet rich in high carotenoid foods is associated with a reduced risk of heart disease.
