Fun Carrot Facts

Eat carrots to improve your eyesight! While it’s true that carrots are high in beta-carotene, which the body converts to a form of vitamin A called “retinal,” a key molecule involved in maintaining normal vision.

Unless you are very deficient in vitamin A, carrots won’t make bad vision better.

The thought that carrots improve eyesight can be traced back to the British Royal Air Force during World War II when pilots were using radar for the first time to spot and shoot down enemy planes. In an effort to conceal this new “cutting edge” technology, a rumor was started that the pilots ate a lot of carrots, which allowed them to see better at night. The fabricated “fact” stuck and, to this day, people are being told to eat carrots to improve vision.
