Vegetarian diet linked to lower cataract risk

(Reuters Health) - Eating less meat and more vegetables is tied to a lower risk of cataracts, a British study says.

In a large dietary survey that followed people for as long as 15 years, researchers found that about three in 50 meat eaters had cataracts, compared to about two in 50 vegans and vegetarians.

The results translated to a 30 to 40 percent lower cataract risk among vegetarians and vegans compared with the biggest meat eaters.

"People who don't eat meat have a significantly lower risk of developing cataracts," said Naomi Allen, an epidemiologist at the UK's University of Oxford who coauthored the study.

Ok = Like all manic biological studies, I'll wait for the almost invisible retraction of this study's result in a fortnight's time in between boring adverts in Scientific American.

Hmmmmm Burgers or Less likely to get cataracts...





Burger wins.

i been veggie about 22 years now, but my eyes am crap lolx

Why not have a flesh-free one?

Because Veggie burgers taste like ass...Not that I would know what that tastes like.

well duh... humans weren't evolved/created to eat meat...

Study shows breathing linked to higher cataract risk.

Dead people don't get cataracts.

Ironic really, that, since flesh-burgers have a** in them, as well as ears, eyes, colons, and a few other things.
