Whoa rabbits. Contrary to what you believe, eating carrots will not give you good eyesight. At least that’s the report from Yahoo News - Who Knew? I’m not sure who started the tale that you should eat carrots because they are good for your eyes. It was probably ‘they.’ They do everything.
Carrots do contain beta-carotene, but so do sweet potatoes, cantaloupes, and apricots. If you eat large quantities of these for an extended period of time, your skin will develop an orange tint. Frankly, I think we could use a few orange people.
Some foods, such as peanut butter do have an effect on senses. Such as peanut butter. It can increase your hearing abilities. That is unless you actually put it into your ears. If you are old enough, you may have heard the expression, "Why can’t you hear? Do you have peanut butter in your ears?
Tomatoes and plums contain carotenoids and can change your skin color too. I eat tomatoes everyday. I do not eat plums.
So far as I can tell the lesson is all this is to forget that rabbits don’t wear glasses. Eat all the carrots, sweet potatoes, cantaloupes, apricots, tomatoes and plums you can stand. So what if your skin turns a funny color.
Just don’t chunk down a load of peanut butter. You’ll be able to hear all those people laughing at you.
