Then you should understand the term " carotenoid homeostasis " and the

You then also know just what the(Nu Skin) Pharmanex BioPhotonic Scanner

detects and does not detect and how the retina has cells that are unique

in their use of carotenoids.

Such things are also created by your own immune system to fight cancer

and other disease, but you must have known that.

With your background you must have misspoke. You must know that

mitochondria are inside the cell and the role they play in oxidative

stress.

Looked at some of the newer science lately that challenges some of older

ideas on the subject? Hopefully you are reading more than the propaganda

Take a look at this data:

2011 - A mitochondrial enzyme degrades carotenoids and protects against

oxidative stress

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3042841/?tool=pubmed

" Recent research showed mammals have evolved efficient mechanisms to

control carotenoid homeostasis. ... Thus, our findings likely explain

harmful effects of high-dose carotenoid supplementation in people at

risk of such disease and identify BCDO2 as a key defender against

oxidative stress. "
