The relationship between fruit and vegetable consumption and Skin Carotenoid Score by BioPhotonic measurements:

Re: The relationship between fruit and vegetable consumption and Skin Carotenoid Score by BioPhotonic measurements:

The following is extracted from page 12 of  “The Validity of the Pharmanex BioPhotonic Scanner and a Review of The Literature”, by Louis B. Cady, M.D., Founder and CEO – The Cady Wellness Institute, Newburgh, IN, USA for your reference.

.===========================
“Following the granting of the patent in 2001, further research on the clinical relevance of the scanner was performed by Pharmanex. In a paper published in-house by one of their chief scientists, significant data points were obtained correlating scan scores with fruit and vegetable consumption, smoking, and LifePak usage.

1,375 subjects entered into the population study, drawn from the ranks of NuSkin Enterprises, the parent company of Pharmanex.

• The mean score of these subjects was 19,072 Raman units, with a standard deviation of 8,828 units. The lowest measurement obtained was 1,556 units; the highest level was 73,416. The majority of the subjects (68%) fell between10,244 and 27,900 Raman units for the “Skin Carotenoid Score.”

• There was, as expected, a pronounced, positive relationship between fruit and vegetable consumption which was reported and the BioPhotonic measurements:

i. 1 or less serving/day netted a score of 16,827 +/-6,725

ii. 2-3 servings/day: 19,669 +/-8,557

iii. 4 -5 servings: 23,997 +/- 12,648

iv. 6 or more servings: 25,377 +/- 12,953 units”
