Lung Health: The vitamin in highest quantities within
squash is vitamin A, and studies have linked vitamin A to a
reduction in emphysema, particularly for those people who
are consistently exposed to carcinogens like cigarette
smoke. There is also an important carotenoid called betacryptoxanthin that has been linked to a reduction in the
occurrence of lung cancer. Lung cancer is one of the most
common forms of this terrible disease, so an increase in
foods that contain vitamin A can be a very important
protective element.
