Abstract
Summary Continued ingestion of mineral oil as such or in the form of mayonnaise dressing by 20 subjects on a normal unrestricted diet resulted in a moderate decrease in plasma carotene concentration. Vitamin A levels remained unchanged. It is concluded that simultaneous ingestion of mineral oil with food prevents substantial amounts of food carotene from entering the body.Keywords
