: It is the amount of vitamin A that is in carrots that some people have a dispute about, just as spinach. Some dragons have been known to have had vit. A toxitity.
It seems like this particular piece of mis-information will never die!
Carrots and other vegetables contain only beta carotene which is the pre-cursor to vitamin A. Carotenes cannot cause vitamin A toxicity. The potentially toxic form of vitamin A is only found in animal based products.
