Oral Health: The organic compounds in carrots all by themselves are good for mineral antioxidants, but carrots also stimulate the gums and induce excess saliva. Saliva is an alkaline substance and combats the bacteria and foreign bodies that can often result in cavities, halitosis, and other oral health risks.
Vitamin C. Regular carrots are a good source of vitamin C, providing 12 percent of the daily value per cup of sliced raw vegetable. Not only is this water-soluble nutrient essential to healthy skin, gums, teeth and bones, but it also enhances iron absorption and protects cells against free-radical damage.
