One or both of these nutrients can be found in such foods as green, leafy vegetables, orange and yellow peppers, broccoli, brussel sprouts, corn and eggs. A number of peer review research studies have shown that supplementing with lutein and zeaxanthin can significantly reduce the changes of getting macular degeneration. Taking fish oil (omega-3 fatty acids) daily is also proving invaluable in helping prevent the onset of Macular Degeneration. These nutrients are also essential to take for those with macular degeneration in helping preserve vision as has been shown on the recent AREDS2 study.

I just heard about this, and being a long-time calorie counter and the one responsible for my family's nutrition, I take it pretty seriously. Basically, it says that calorie restriction causes brain function loss - and very quickly! (the site I saw was http://www.dietingscience.com) It doesn't seem like hype because real scientists did the research. Wassup with this???
