Hi Dana, sorry to cut in on this conversation. I would appreciate it very

much if you would relate how you solved the " carotene conversion issues. "

Thanks, Sam.

[ ] Phenols/Dana

>>Dana, I know that tomatoes and strawberries are high phenol foods, what

>>about corn. Is that also? Are all 3 conversion issues?

All three of those foods were problems for my son because of carotene

conversion issues. Once I addressed that problem, my son could eat those

foods.

According to a book I have, carotene conversion requires vitamin C, zinc, and

thyroid hormone. Other sources I read, indicate that thyroid support supps are

selenium, iodine, and tyrosine. Giving all 5 of those supps corrected the

problem, altho selenium was the most important. There was a time when, if I

gave selenium, he was fine eating those foods, but if I forgot his selenium,

MAJOR problems when he ate those foods.
