Mind you...isnt "Carotene" some kind of naturally occuring compound that is found in only a few things...?...like carrots...??...im under the impression carrots have had it ever since they were carrots, not because caveman selectively bred a genetic mutation...

Ill put this here to read later...i like this kind of educational stuff...!!...
