Hmmmm  in England the propoganda machine asserted that eating large
quantities of carrots improved night vision and that the RAF pilots
loved carrots.  This was a ploy to disguise the invention of radar.

However it is true that particularly malnourished individuals will
benefit from the vitamin D in carrots which can help them gain
normal "night vision".

Over to you batman.....

All the best,
