My mother told me carrots would improve my eyesight, so I took that to its logical conclusion, which was of course that eating enough carrots would give me X-ray vision. My mom put a stop to that, though, since another thing I've seen on this page -- that your skin turns orange if you eat too many carrots -- is true. It happened to my older sister, and it's really more of a sickly yellow.
