The origins of the carrot vision myth actually lie in World War II #shorts

We all heard the myth while growing up: Carrots are good for your eyesight. Or maybe even: Carrots can make you see in the dark. But where did this myth come from? And is there any basis in science? It turns out that carrots are chock-full of vitamin A, which is necessary for vision. But most people today get enough vitamin A in their normal diet, and eating an excess of the orange vegetable won’t boost your eyesight or grant you night vision. In fact, consuming more vitamin A than your body can handle (via supplements instead of natural fruits and vegetables) can be detrimental to your health. The origins of this common myth actually lie in World War II. Vox producer Nate Krieger spoke to an ophthalmologist and a World War II propaganda historian to uncover the surprising origins of the carrot vision myth. This video is presented by @stonyfield .
