But carrots cannot help you see better in the dark any more than eating blueberries will turn you blue.
Brb. Going out for blueberries
Carrots will turn you orange though.
I knew this to be true and still told my kid to eat their carrots for better night vision, because it made them eat their carrots. We do what we must in the trenches.
I just tell them the carrots will make them big and powerful. Which is technically true for all healthy food.
My favorite thing to come from this myth is this Bill Plympton short:
To save a click:
When radar was still classified, Brits claimed they could see the planes because they are a lot of carrots.
It didn’t fool the axis, but civilians in Britain kind of believed it.
It’s hard to tell, they’re always saying something with a wink and a nod.
They might not have known what radar was, but they knew no amount of carrots made that big of difference, it’s not like the English had never ate carrots before.

Carrots don’t even have Vitamin A in the proper form. They have vitamin A precursors that your body can use to make vitamin A. If you want actual vitamin A you find it in liver.
Downvoting because you use the comment to hate on vegans lol.

“uhm it’s ackshully provitamin A in carrots, you need to inject retinol to get the ackshul vitamin A 🤓”
Found the vegan. He has to mock nutrition.
I eat primarily meat, but it’s wrong to say you’re going to have a vitamin A deficiency just because you eat provitamin A instead of retinol.
