Bugs Bunny is always seen munching away on carrots. Some people claim that eating carrots help you see in the dark. I know this idea is sometimes used to get children to eat the vegetable. This thought came about because carrots contain carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A, which is claimed to help the eye adjust to dim light. Apparently, the story originated from the Second World War. The pilots claimed it was eating carrots that enabled them to see in the dark, thus keeping the fact that they had invented radar a secret. One thing the carotene does do well though is colouring the skin. If you eat enough of them or drink the juice regularly, then your skin will turn a very pleasant orange colour!
