Food Myths And Facts
I Ate A Lot of Carrots As A Kid!
An expert has revealed once and for all whether carrots truly help you see in the dark if an apple a day keeps the doctor away, and if oysters make you frisky.
Also if it takes seven years to digest chewing gum, whether you can swim after eating and if fish is good for the brain.
A Nutritionist lays it down for us!
First carrots contain lots of vitamin A which helps maintain healthy vision, but they don’t help you see in the dark.
Also an apple a day won’t in itself reduce your chances of needing to visit a GP, and chewing gum doesn’t take seven years to leave your system.
Contradictory to what many say and think, chocolate and oysters are NOT aphrodisiacs.
