Rainbow carrot juice study reveals hidden health secrets

This study looked at how eating different colored carrots (red, purple-red, and purple) affects the body's ability to absorb beneficial plant pigments called carotenoids and anthocyanins. Twelve healthy adults drank carrot juice from each variety over several weeks, and researchers measured changes in their blood levels of these pigments and their antioxidant activity. The goal was to understand if eating these pigments together boosts their health benefits, particularly for blood sugar control.
