Are Cateracts linked to lack of vitamin C?
"Older adults who get very little vitamin C in their diets may have an increased risk of developing cataracts, a study in India finds.Cataracts are a clouding of the eye’s lens that commonly cause vision problems in older people. Some studies, but not all, have found that people with higher intakes of antioxidants, including vitamin C, may have a lower risk of developing the condition.
But those studies have been done in Western countries — and not in lower-income countries like India, where people’s vitamin C levels tend to be very low and rates of cataract are particularly high.
For the new study, researchers evaluated more than 5,600 Indian adults age 60 and up for cataracts. They also interviewed them about their diets and lifestyle habits, and measured their blood levels of vitamin C.
Overall, nearly 73 percent of the study participants were found to have cataracts. But that risk dipped as vitamin C blood levels and vitamin C intake rose." TheDelhiNews
