Antioxidant Vitamins and Zinc Reduce Risk of Vision Loss from Age-Related Macular_degeneration Same Nutrients Have No Effect on the Development of Cataract
Antioxidant Vitamins and Zinc Reduce Risk of Vision Loss from Age-Related Macular_degeneration Same Nutrients Have No Effect on the Development of Cataract
and zinc significantly reduce the risk of advanced age-related macular_degeneration (AMD) and its associated vision loss.
These same nutrients had no significant effect on the development or progression of cataract.
the nutrients did not provide an apparent benefit. The clinical trial called the Age-Related Eye_disease Study (AREDS) was_sponsored by the National Eye Institute (NEI),
"The Age-Related Eye_disease Study involved 4, 757 participants, 55-80 years of_age, in 11 clinical centers nationwide.
"In the cataract portion of the study, researchers discovered that the same nutrients had no significant effect on the development or progression of_age-related cataract.
A cataract is a clouding of the eye's lens that blocks some light from reaching the retina
or the combination of zinc and antioxidants were all about as likely to develop a cataract as those taking a placebo,
or preventing cataract,
"Also at_that_time, limited epidemiologic and clinical trial data suggested that antioxidants might affect the development of cataract.
However, our analyses did not find any connection between the antioxidant vitamins used in the AREDS and cataract development."
"Despite the evidence that these nutrients did not lower the risk of cataract development over the seven-year period of the study,
