Scientists have been successful in producing technologically modified calcium rich carrots that help in significant enhancement of the rate of calcium absorption in the human body.
A recent study conducted at the ‘Texas A&M AgriLife’s Vegetable and Fruit Improvement Center ‘on the calcium consumption of people who ate the carrot revealed that there was a significant increase in the net calcium absorption rate.
The research study that was conducted in collaboration with the ‘Taylor College of Medicine’ also revealed that if this specially developed carrot is added to a normal person’s diet it helps in preventing related diseases like osteoporosis.
“If you eat a serving of the modified carrot, you’d absorb 41 percent more calcium than from a regular carrot,” said Dr. Jay Morris, the lead researchers at the ‘Baylor College of Medicine in Houston’. Findings of this research study have also been published in the “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences”, in its online edition of January 14.
