In an investigation called "A Dietary Antioxidant Index and
Risk for Advanced Age-Related Macular Degeneration in the Age-Related
Eye Disease Study" conducted by the National Eye Institute,
researchers evaluated the antioxidant intake of more than 1,700
individuals who were between 60 and 80 years of age. Variations in two genes could account for three-quarters of all
cases of age-related macular degeneration, a new study reports. A Harvard University professor recently studied patients at five of
the country's largest ophthalmology centers, and found that those
patients who consumed more processed foods on a daily basis were at high
risk for age-related macular degeneration, the leading cause of
blindness in people over age 65. |
