Noel from Newark New Jersey would like to know are carrots healthier than most fruits and vegetables? This is a difficult question to answer. Carrots are obviously healthier than some fruits and vegetables, but certainly not all of them. For example I would say that carrots are healthier than ice lettuce, but other than that one I couldn't really see them being healthier than any others. Most fruits and vegetables, carrots includes, have certain specific qualities that make them healthy for the body. Instead of picking and choosing which fruits and vegetables you should eat, it would be better to eat them all in moderation. A wide spectrum of fruits and vegetables in your diet means that your body will receive a wide spectrum of essential vitamins and minerals. So rather than focusing on carrots for example, you should try to eat a large variety of fresh raw produce. Thanks for sending us the question, I'm sorry I couldn't give a definitive answer.
