I've previously touched on this important topic in Preventing Macular Degeneration with Diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/preve...
). I've also covered other leading causes of blindness such as cataracts (Preventing Cataracts with Diet, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/preve...
) and glaucoma (see my last video, Greens vs. Glaucoma, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/green...
, and my next video, Dietary Treatment of Glaucoma, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/dieta...
).

In Egg Industry Blind Spot (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/egg-i...
) I compare the levels in eggs to greens.

), goji berries one of the most antioxidant-packed snacks out there. A tip on getting them inexpensively can be found in my video Are Goji Berries Good for You? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/are-g...
).
