Macular Degeneration

This is something I hold close as my great-uncle developed this later in life.

Our local paper printed this in the "People's Pharmacy" column by Joe and Teresa Graeden (not sure if this is syndicated):

The most recent research shows that a diet rich in refined carbohydrates such as sugar and white flour is not good for the eyes (American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, July 2007). People who ate such "high-glycemic index" diets were almost 50 percent more likely to develop advanced macular degeneration.

Another good incentive to make SBD a way of life...

I saw that, too, and read it with great interest. This is exactly the kind of thing that I've been talking about here-- that blood sugar issues aren't just for diabetics, and that episodes of high blood sugar damage your body internally on a cellular level.

Thanks for posting this!!!
