Few reports in the literature show that it is harmful. BetaCarotene is provitamin A and is harmless., , Pregnant women should have their vitamin A intake, from foods and supplements, monitored by their doctor so as not to harm the fetus, whose liver is quite small. Children should also have their vitamin A intake evaluated. However, doctors can save children with measles with 100,000 to 200,000 IU of the vitamin inn two days., , As Richard A. Passwater, Ph.D., points out in the Foreword, gthe teachings of this book can save the lives of millions worldwide.h
