Macular Degeneration Diet
In a preliminary study, high intake of saturated fat and cholesterol was associated with an increased risk of developing macular degeneration.
According to preliminary research, people who eat fish more than once per week have half the risk of developing age-related macular degeneration compared with people who eat fish less than once per month.
Total alcohol consumption has not been linked to macular degeneration in most studies. However, one research group has linked beer consumption to macular degeneration, and in one of two trials, wine drinkers were found to have a significantly lower risk of macular degeneration compared with people not drinking wine. Most doctors consider these reports too preliminary to suggest either avoiding beer or increasing wine consumption.
