Isn't there some trick where you don't consume the usual type of vitamin A but instead only consume one of the other three types of vitamin A? The one that's slightly different and somehow you get night vision?
Actually I don't think it was night vision I think maybe it was to see UV light.
Maybe I only dreamed this not read about it I tend to do that sometimes.
edit: It was vitamin A2 and it was for night vision actual IR not to see in the dark but to see IR light. http://www.popsci.com/article/diy/can-we-hack-our-vision-see-infrared-naked-eye http://www.popsci.com/article/diy/can-we-hack-our-vision-see...
- abandonliberty 10y agoInteresting. Carrots/Vitamin A were credited with the RAF shooting down enemy planes in WWII - Apparently a cover story for radar. http://gizmodo.com/carrots-improve-your-vision-is-a-wwii-lie-1633939494 http://gizmodo.com/carrots-improve-your-vision-is-a-wwii-lie...

- andai 10y agoThe cover story was a cover story!

Their job was to watch the coastline just in case the Germans tried to signal to collaborators on land using UV light. http://www.komar.org/faq/colorado-cataract-surgery-crystalens/ultra-violet-color-glow/ http://www.komar.org/faq/colorado-cataract-surgery-crystalen...
