Naana asks: Does eating carrots really improve your eyesight?
Wynnie says: The myth that eating carrots can improve eyesight originated during the second world war.
The British Royal Air Force didn't want German forces to know that they were using radar to detect bombing raids, so they spread a rumour that British fighter pilots were being fed large quantities of carrots and therefore had excellent night vision.
Carrots are rich in beta-carotene, which is a form of vitamin A found in plants, and it gives the roots their characteristic orange colour.
Vitamin A is necessary for good eyesight and helps your eyes adjust to low levels of light. A deficiency of vitamin A can cause night blindness.
Deficiency of vitamin A is rare in developed places such as Hong Kong, because we eat a wide variety of foods which contain the vitamin. This means chomping on carrots won't help you see any better in the dark unless for some reason you are severely deficient.
