Vitamin 'A'

I've read on the Vitamin Collection today that the lack of Vit A will prevent the synthesis of a substance called retinol, which leads to blindness. The web site says that the most direct source of Vit A is liver.
What gets me is that the availability of all of the other vitamin letters is very straight forward. You can find them in peanuts, bananas, rice, eggs, cheese, bran, yogurt. Of course, just one orange will give you 100% RDA in Vit C, and your own body can store up to 3 months supply of Vit C.
So, have any of you got any idea of where else to get Vit A? Now obviously, I'm getting enough of it because I still got one eye. Thanks!

It just didn't occur to me at the time I wrote my last post of the phrase "carrots makes you see in the dark".
I wouldn't rely on vitamin supplements though... it has been proven in intensive consumer tests that they usually don't make any difference at all to the body's levels of vitamins.
As for multivitamins, I have never tried them. A solid person like me has always stuck with solid food!
I was just a bit consious after about vitamin A, because of my bad vision in the first place. I didn't want to jeapodise my one and only eye.
What are the two substances in your signiture?
i dont thnk thats gonna happen though!
i was gonna ask bout the signature as well...but i worked it out :P
Actually now you mention that, all liver is very high in vitamin A, I remember it being one of the foods thats not recommended in pregnancy for this reason. As if anyone in their right mind would ever eat liver anyway.:yuck:
Would that be NaHO?
