For a long time it was thought that mega doses of Beta Carotene would help prevent cancer and even fight cancer because it's an antioxidant.
It is shown that low to moderate doses of Beta Carotene reduce the risk of cancer in people.
Keeping Dust Under Control With A Dust Spray Category: Health Care
For those with allergies or asthma, keeping dust under control is essential to overall health. It is also a good idea for those without any health problems and a buildup of dust can cause cold-like symptoms if breathed in too much. Additionally, too much dust attracts other nuisances such as dust mites, which live in dust and can spread to other parts of your home.

The scar tissue healed at the same rate with both ointments and on a negative side the vitamin E ointment gave some patients contact dermatitis, which is red and itchy skin.
Vitamin E is an antioxidant, which means that it snatches up free radicals, mostly in the skin, and transports them elsewhere for removal from the body.
