The jack-o-lantern on your doorstep may do more than just scare away a few ghosts. . .it may scare off cancer, too! Pumpkin is rich in beta carotene and other carotenoids that help your body fight cancer, including breast cancer, and help prevent cataracts. Beta carotene can also be converted to vitamin A—when the body needs it—which boosts the immune system and is essential for healthy skin and vision. Watkins All-Natural Pumpkin Butter will provide nearly 100% of your daily requirement for Vitamin A. Now, that should get you pumped!
