Question

‘Consumption of carrot improves your eyesight’. Comment on this statement.

Answer 1

A vitamin A deficiency can lead to poor night vision, or night blindness, but an increase in carrot intake will not make night any better than normal. 'eating carrots helps you see in the dark'.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Well, yes and no. Carrots contain beta-carotene,

a substance converted by the body to vita-

min A, an important nutrient for eye health.

But eating carrots alone won’t improve your visual

acuity if you have less than perfect vision. Just like

eating spinach won’t give you biceps like Popeye’s.

Carrots became associated with vision, particularly

night vision, during World War II. The British Royal

Air Force (RAF) developed a radar system that helped

find the German aircraft at night or in conditions of

limited visibility. To keep this system under wraps,

RAF planted stories that the consumption of high

carotene content carrots had remarkably improved

the vision of their pilots, even perpetuating a propa-

ganda campaign highlighting the benefits of carrots

for aiding night vision. But there is no doubt that car-

rots are good for the overall health of our eyes.
