yo, heres something for u all to tell your mum when your mum tries to force u to eat more carrots.
Can carrots help improve your vision?
the roman emperor caligula believed that carrots had the properties of an aphrodisiac, making men more potent and women more submissive, he is said to have fed the entire roman senate a banquet of only carrots so that he could watch the senators fornicate like wild beasts, this has nothing to do with eyesight, but it is quite a tale.
the carrot myth dates back to world war II wgeb british royal air force was attempting to hide the fact that it had developed a sophisticated airborne radar system to shoot down german bombers. they bragged that the great accuracy of british fighter pilots at night was a result of them being fed enormous amounts of carrots. it is true carrots are rich in beta-carotene, which is essential for sight. the body converts beta-carotene to vitamin A, and extreme vitamin A deficiency can cause blindness, however, only a small amount of beta-carotene is necessary for good vision. if you are not deficient in vitamin A, your vision wont improve no matter how many carrots u eat.
so next time your mum tries to force u to eat more carrots, explain to her haha.
btw, heres a vid of a choir which i admires alot.
