Guys post some informative Medical Facts here

I'll start


There are 2.5 trillion (give or take) of red blood cells in your body at any moment. To maintain this number, about two and a half million new ones need to be produced every second by your bone marrow.That's like a new population of the city of Toronto every second.

I may be mistaken, but isn't it the beta carotene (which is later turned into Vitamin A) in the carrots that improve your eyesight, and not the carrots themself?
