Vitamin A Acetate
		Vitamin A acetate is a synthetically produced form of vitamin A that can accumulate in the body resulting in adverse effects.  It may lead to birth defects in pregnant women, osteoporosis, liver damage and increased risk for certain cancers. Unlike the provitamin beta-carotene (two retinol molecules attached to one another) which is split in the gut and converted into vitamin A proper, as the body needs, vitamin A acetate poses far greater risks.
