@fryrsquared: Let's be clear - carrots are still very good for you! Eat your vegetables, kids. 🥕🥕🥕 But the only way they could actually improve your vision is if you were severely Vitamin A deficient to begin with (which is incredibly unlikely). And even then, there are better vegetables than carrots: Dietary sources of lutein and zeaxanthin carotenoids and their role in eye health by El-Sayed M Abdel-Aal, Humayoun Akhtar, Khalid Zaheer, and Rashida Ali (2013)🥬🥦 And of course, check out the World Carrot Museum - sadly no longer updating, but still delightful: 🧐 🥕www.carrotmuseum.co.uk🥕

I was born in 1956 and, as a child, was told this. When I questioned it, I was told, "have you ever seen a rabbit with glasses?"

I think this was on QI or another show a long time ago. I’ve known the radar story for years.

TBF, repeating it just because the kids (like I was) hated veg, but ate it for that reason. And overall, eating veg was good. No harm;-)

Really?! I've also heard this in reference to supplementing nutrition in the Philippines. People said malnourished children were no longer afraid of the dark after given vitamins.
