Do carrots help you to see in the dark?


No. It is a myth put about by the MOI when we were using radar to detect

Not totally a myth. Carrots contain vitamin A and lutein, which are
both helpful in keeping our retinas healthy. It's not just carrots
which contain these however. Green leafy veg and many other things
are helpful too.
