    Carrots don’t even have Vitamin A in the proper form. They have vitamin A precursors that your body can use to make vitamin A. If you want actual vitamin A you find it in liver

          I eat primarily meat, but it’s wrong to say you’re going to have a vitamin A deficiency just because you eat provitamin A instead of retinol.
