Im not sure if it can help you see in the dark but i heard eating carrots does improve your visionWww@FoodAQ@Com

NO - lol!.

This is a myth; it was invented by British intelligence during World War 2!. Rumours were circulated that British RAF pilots were fed carrots to help them see in the dark in the hope that to the Germans it would appear to be the case that they could see in the dark following a number of night-time raids!. The story was invented so the Germans wouldn't be alerted to the fact that the allies had radar!.

It has its roots in fact though - carrots are high in beta-carotene which is converted into Vitamin A in the body!. A deficiency of vitamin A can cause night blindness!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Carrots are high in beta-carotene, which converts to Vitamin A!. If you don't have enough Vitamin A in your diet, it can make it hard to see things at night, and eating carrots will help that!. But if you are getting adequate Vitamin A, then eating carrots won't improve your eyesight any better than general nutrition!.

By the way, don't over supplement with Vitamin A either, since too much could be poisonous!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well, it's good for you!.!.!.!.

But this was a story put out by the Allied Forces during WWII: the British can shoot down German planes at night because they eat lots of carrots, not because of the mobile radar we developed- which doesn't exist!. Who told you we had that capability!? It's the carrots!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Nah son, it don't be makin' you see in da dis-ark!. But they do be makin yo skin turn orange if yo *** be eatin' too many!. And don't be all about da evil laugh son, be all about da liz-ove!!!

Now who gonna give you a betta answer then that!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

All vegetables and fruits can improve and mantain your eyesight !. Some people say if you eat sweetcorn every day it reduces your chances of going blind!. But as a whole all vegetables and fruits will supply your eyes with vital vitamins for good eyesight!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Mixed opinions the idea that carrots improve your vision was spread by the British RAF when they invented radar, but carrot have a good amount vitamin C which is good for your eyes!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

It will not give you night vision, it will only help to improve your eyesight and prevent the degredation thereof!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes!. It's a little known fact that carrots will help you see in the dark and will cure most ailments!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It helps you're eyes adjust to the dark quicker, but it won't help you get night-vision! Wish I had it though (lol)!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
