Re: Medical Myths
Yes a herbalist friend said to me that carrots are only nutritious when cooked slightly.
The digestive system has a protective coat that sloths off every few days.
It is there to protect us from plant toxins.
I believe carrots were only stock -horse etc- food until WW2 when necessity made them a vegetable.
The myth that they are good for eyesight was started by the British Secret Service who had to explain their sudden increase in RAF hits against the Luftwaffe. (Due to improvements in radar)
They promulgated the lie that pilots were being fed on carrots so could see better in the dark!
Good one!
