The myth that carrots improve vision is collapsing

The myth that carrots improve vision is collapsing

Although eating carrots is good for our health, as they contain Vitamin A, they don’t help us improve our vision.

The belief that carrots help us improve our vivion dates back to the WWII when British intelligence tried to hide from the Germans the superior new technology, so they came up with this plausible-sound myth.

However, according to snopes.com betacarotene in carrots may help reduce the risk for cataract and macular degeneration but still we need to eat a large number of carrots to reach the satisfying level.
