Drum roll please… This is… FALSE! This expression is actually a nod to benefits of carrot and in particular to the beta-carotene, powerful anti-oxidant which would help slow down skin aging. But as for make lovable, this is not proven, even if some researchers have carried out a study on the link between antioxidants and optimism. Result: of the 982 people tested, the researchers noted a higher level of antioxidants in people who declared themselves optimistic. But this is not sufficient evidence to clearly state that carrots actually make you more optimistic and therefore more lovable.
