Dietary carotenoids and breast cancer risk: evidence from a large population-based incident case-control study [PDF]

Nutrition & Metabolism
Background Although mechanistic studies suggest protective roles for carotenoids against breast cancer (BC), human studies yield inconsistent findings. Few have comprehensively evaluated dietary intake of individual and grouped carotenoids in relation to

Improving the antinutritional profiles of common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) moderately impacts carotenoid bioaccessibility but not mineral solubility [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Common beans are a common staple food with valuable nutritional qualities, but their high contents in antinutritional factors (ANFs) can decrease the bioavailability of (i) fat-soluble micronutrients including carotenoids and (ii) minerals. Our objective
