HUN2201 Final Exam Review UPDATED
ACTUAL QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
ANSWERS
Strong scientific evidence supports claims that dietary supplements can help prevent chronic diseases
such as cancer in some populations. For example, the Carotene and Retinol Efficacy Trial (CARET)
was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of the cancer prevention efficacy and safety
in persons at high risk for lung cancer. It demonstrated that the benefits of taking beta-carotene and
retinoid acid (Vitamin A derivatives) supplements far outweigh the risks of taking beta-carotene and
retinoid acid (Vitamin A derivatives) supplements. Therefore, retinoic acid (vitamin A) and beta-
carotene are recommended to prevent cancer and mortality in heavy smokers.
