According to scientists' observations, the blood levels of B-carotene in patients with uterine cancer are lower than those in the control group, and low B-carotene intake is a risk factor for uterine cancer. Animal foods that contain a lot of vitamin A include animal liver and eggs. Plant foods rich in B-carotene include spinach, rapeseed, amaranth, lettuce leaves, and pumpkin.
