I'd like to remind people, that veggies contain betacarotene, which is not an active form of vitamin A.

This is converted to A as the body requires. It can be inhibited or blocked by hypothyroidism as one function of the thyroid hormones we have is to aid in the conversion of betacarotene to active retinols (vitamin A).
