One of the benefits of the raw carrot is that it binds to bile acids, which helps to excrete them with the toxins they contain.
Here's a paper testing how much different vegetables bind to bile acids, in vitro. Beets bind to bile acids a bit more than twice as carrots.

Note: Bile acids binding helps to eliminate PFOA and other PFCs (plastic toxins).

Relative to cholestyramine, in vitro bile acid binding on a dry matter basis was, for beets, 18%; okra, 16%; eggplant, 14%; asparagus, 10%; carrots, 8%; green beans, 7%; cauliflower, 6%; and turnips, 1%
