"The ATBC Study, the parent trial of the present cohort serum analysis, and the beta-Carotene and Retinol Efficacy Trial (CARET) found significantly increased overall mortality (8% and 17%, respectively) among participants who received beta-carotene (or beta-carotene plus retinyl palmitate in the latter trial) supplements.15, 16 "

I was shocked to read this. I have an assumption that orange vegetables are useful not because of vitamin A, but for other reasons (let me remind you that we do not know 97% of what food consists of). But I will delve into this issue further.
It is important to note that the same applies to a number of other supplements. Vitamin E shows a 4% increase in mortality.

On the other hand, this study confirmed the 7% benefit for overall mortality from vitamin D supplementation (a Grant, it seems, against vitamin D).
It is important to note that the conclusion from my post above is that vitamin A supplements are harmful and those who disagree with this are flat-earthers, because official science confirms this. And now the question is, why is this added to multivitamins and food?

It is important to note that this was a large human study. Just the way I like it.

AI says that the problems with vitamin A supplements are related to its biological properties in excess, not with its synthetic form.

Aposematism in plants?
Learned last year that colorful birds like parrots' colors are carotenoids from fruit and plants they eat. So avoid eating bird feathers.
Also, rat poison is rat poison in any dose. Curious that oral vitamin D is rat poison and natural UVB derived vitamin D is a nutrient.
Very happy with last 2 years using my cheap sun lamp.
