RESUMO
El concepto de los nucleótidos no es nuevo; máxime que son elementos que hacen parte de los componentes naturales de la leche materna. Casi todos los estudios señalan que el consumo de carotenoides, previenen el desarrollo de enfermedades crónicas en la edad adulta, posiblemente por su efecto antioxidante que disminuye el estrés oxidativo, mejorando enfermedades degenerativas y malignas.

Importantes investigaciones han señalado la capacidad del aceite de palma rojo para combatir la deficiencia de la vitamina A en niños y mujeres gestantes. Esto sugiere que los carotenoides (provitamina A) presentes en el aceite de palma rojo son absorbidos, almacenados y convertidos de manera eficiente a equivalentes de retinol activos y luego, utilizados por el organismo para suplir sus necesidades. Por tanto, el aceite de palma representa un medio eficaz para contrarrestar la deficiencia de vitamina A. Important research studies have shown the capacity of the red palm oil to fight against vitamin A deficiency in children and pregnant women.

Aiming to assess the association between carotenes and vitamin A intake and lung cancer, a case control study was performed. Sixty one male subjects with lung cancer and 61 controls paired for age, sex and smoking habits from 6 hospitals in Santiago were analyzed. Based on a compsumption tendency enquiry, the mean weekly intake of food showed that cases consumed less winter vegetables than controls (chard, beet, chicory, spinach and cabbage) but no differences between groups in carotene and retinol consumption. It is concluded that patients with lung cancer have a lower consumption of carotene rich vegetables
