I think it's half and half, I eat a lot of carrots and have to wear glasses. I also, as previously stated, am not all that heavy into eating fish and I am very likely dumber then a box of rocks. So no positive action with the carrots and no help from no fish in the diet as predicted. Who knows, maybe both are a major old wives tale and are just something we eat. Hey, it could happen! ;) :D

Carrots does help out to clear skin. In my younger acne days someone advised to grind carrots in a blender and drink daily. It worked for me.

Interesting.

Where was this information when I was in grades 7 and 8?!? Man, my face was a mess. Fortunately by the time I started high school, the Acne Fairy turned her attention to everyone else, and left me blemish free.

There are actually a LOT of myths about what's good for you. The carrot thing was apparently started in WWII because Germans were bombing English cities at night. England developed a radar that could detect the German bombers before they reached inland, and shoot them down, but they didn't want the Germans to know about this new technology. So they told everyone that they were able to see the German planes because they ate carrots, which improved their night-time vision. And the citizens believed it too and started eating carrots so they'd be able to see when the Germans were approaching and could take cover.

Then there was something about...maybe milk? I want to say something about farmers having an excess of milk that no one was buying so they got doctors to tell people it was essential to good health? And there was also something about fiber...like that human digestive systems can't absorb fiber.....I don't remember. E has looked a lot of things up and I think they learned about some of it in biology or chemistry or something, but I don't remember most of what she said now. But apparently a lot of what we think about what we need and what's bad for us is based on propaganda to get us to buy more of one thing and less of something else.
