Antioxidants in Eggs may help prevent blindness

Filed Under News on June 22, 2007

Studies have shown that eating eggs can reduce the risk of developing macular degeneration.
The study, previously published in The Journal of Nutrition, a leading international nutrition journal, shows that eating one egg per day raises the levels of antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin (which protect the retina) by 26 per cent and 36pc respectively compared with no egg consumption.
The results indicate that frequent consumption of foods high in the antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin, in particular daily egg consumption, can improve markers of eye health, one the most debilitating diseases of ageing.
