DESCRIPTION:Risk of developing cataracts was compared in meateaters, fish-eaters, vegetarians, and vegans. Have a question about this video? Leave it in the comment section at ‪http://nutritionfacts.org/video/preventing-cataracts-with-diet/ and I'll try to answer it!‬ The concentration of advanced glycation end-products in animal-based foods may help explain this finding; see my video Glycotoxins (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/glycotoxins/). In Prevent Glaucoma and See 27 Miles Farther (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/prevent-glaucoma-and-see-27-miles-farther/) I covered the second leading cause of blindness, glaucoma, and the day before that I covered two other leading causes of vision loss in Preventing Macular Degeneration with Diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/preventing-macular-degeneration-with-diet/), where I also touch on diabetic retinopathy. I have 105 other videos on plant-based diets (http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/plant-based-diets/) and hundreds of other videos on more than a thousand subjects (http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/)—I hope you'll check them out.
