Yes - that’s right - it’s OK and even BENEFICIAL to indulge yourself with a piece of delicious pumpkin pie this Thanksgiving! Thinking that this is some sort of cruel joke? Well think again! As Men’s Health reports:

Eating a large slice of pumpkin pie … will give you about 8,000 micrograms of beta-carotene, an amount Roswell Park Cancer Institute shows may halve a man’s risk of the disease.

Admittedly - there are other beta-carotene-rich foods that are a lot better for your waistline. These include: apricots, carrots, papaya, cantaloupe, spinach, sweet potatoes and mangoes.
However, the holidays are a special time - and after a long and stressful year - it’s time to enjoy!
