I really think it’s more a “general health” thing. As a kid, we were told carrots are good for your eyes. It’s not like one carrot will make a difference, but over time, a daily carrot will help provide the nutrients needed for “good eyes.”
I think supplements are excellent for any dietary deficiency and can change lives if used appropriately.
So some of the flavanols in carrots are good but the claim it was the vitamin A is bunk, the type of vitamin A in plants is not very bioactive for us. Vitamin A from animals like cod liver oil is much better of a source as it's the form that we already use.
Amen to that, we're all deficient I'm sure along with being pummeled by toxins.
I totally remember carrots being good for the eyes! And agreed, sometimes I wonder if I give things enough of a chance. Having tried a bunch of supplements over the past several years, few have made it more than a month, or however long they last.
Decades of poor farming practice has depleted our soil so the fruits and vegetables we eat are missing a lot of the magnesium and other minerals that were plentiful a century ago.
"Carrots are good for your eyes" was the psyop to keep the Germans from finding out how the Brits were able to intercept their air raids at night... using radar which was a new invention. "Our pilots eat carrots and it helps them with their night vision"

Including the use of manufactured pesticides!
Doesn't matter even if it's organic without the pesticides, the minerals are still often in too low of quantities.
