By November the U.S. Navy was able to land reinforcements on Guadalcanal faster than the Japanese, and by January 44,000 U.S. troops were on the island. By February 1943 the Japanese, badly outnumbered, were forced to evacuate 12,000 of their remaining troops from Guadalcanal.
The Carb Count in Carrots. One medium carrot has about 6 grams of carbohydrates. One-half cup of baby carrots -- the amount the American Diabetes Association suggests for a midday snack -- also contains about 6 grams of carbs. Because carrots have so much fiber, they affect metabolism differently than other carbs.
The carrot gets its characteristic, bright orange colour from Î²-carotene, and lesser amounts of Î±-carotene, Î³-carotene, lutein and zeaxanthin. Î±- and Î²-carotenes are partly metabolized into vitamin A, providing more than 100% of the Daily Value (DV) per 100 g serving of carrots (right table). Carrots are also a good source of vitamin K (13% DV) and vitamin B6 (11% DV), but otherwise have modest content of other essential nutrients (right table). Carrots are 88% water, 4.7% sugar, 2.6% protein, 1% ash, and 0.2% fat.
