I stand corrected. Beta-carotene is a Vitamin A and is fat soluble. However, excess consumptions of other forms of Vitamin A (retinols) can affect the liver, and carotenoids are much safer. However, moderation is the key.
I guess what it means that beta carotene cannot be absorbed without the consumption of fat. Loading up on vegetables or supplementation does no good if fat isn't consumed at the same time. Moderation is still the key.
