Summary: spinach, nuts, olive oil and fish are good. High GI food and vegetable oils are bad. Carrots are useless. Very clear and useful presentation. Thank you.

[@rahoulg1838]

Excellent presentation! Engaging simplified point of view , without any fluff or attempts to humor the audience.

[@nhu-tarnawskahoakimngan7601]

Children are eating as their parents or worse - it is not genetic but result of eating processed food which include mostly sugar and processed "vegetable = seeds" oils. Watch other video about real reason of macula illness. It is not an aging illness; In the regions where people don't have access to such oils they live longer and having much less macula problems.

[@Jan96106]

Thank you for this wonderful explanation of age related macular degeneration. I have never really understood what happens. I do not eat fish, so I will try to do so. I was shocked to find out I have AMD because I eat large quantities of green, leafy vegetables and consume lots of eggs, which are a rich source of lutein. I also stopped eating vegetable oils years ago and went back to butter. I will now eat spinach more often to see if that helps. I don't eat a cup a day of spinach. I am sure future studies will confirm that sugar plays a role. I ate too much sugar most of my life and have blood sugar problems. (I have stopped my high sugar consumption.) I suspect that is what is playing a major role in me developing AMD. I also did not protect my eyes from sunlight as well as I should have. I don't think I owned a pair of sunglasses as a child. I think my family likely looked at them as an unnecessary luxury for a child. I only bought them in my teens and less for protection and more as a fashion statement.

[@chianghh]

Thanks for sharing. Did u also take other meat and dairy?

[@marvinnelson5073]

Not so sure about sugar. Chris Nobbe uses a culture with high sugar low oils as an example to show its the oils. One thing is we see how what animals eat affects their fats too, so I’m not so sure we can say eggs or dairy for instance and be talking the same things. Even so called free range or organic is no guarantee.

[@terjeoseberg990]

@@marvinnelson5073, What kind of oils? That’s important. Trans fats are incredibly unhealthy.

Thanks for posting this. The pathophysiology is explained very well. Though it appears the good doctor is not representing all of the literature, with his dietary recommendations.

Dr Devinder, have studies been done using SERRAPEPTASE? Im very eager to see or hear about the results. And were the first studies done on animals?

Ceftin an antibiotic is what gave me MD and cataracts. Before, I had 20/20 vision. After the Ceftin within maybe 2 weeks my eyesight worsened.

[@iamgk91]

Thank you Doctor. Thank you very much

[@IlliniPicker]

Thank you Doctor. Could you elaborate on Olive Oil please? I use it all the time now and use Organic I don't use any vegetable oils. Can you or would you recommend a brand that is better and more pure form (i.e. imported directly from source like Italy)? thank you so much!

[@jenniferclaesson7275]

This is the most useful information presentation I have come across. Thank you so much Dr.

[@juliametcalf2660]

Olive oil has one unstable bond ...if you eat saturated fats from animal products you have totally stable bonds ...see Dr Paul Mason's lectures on fats

Terrific overview! Also check out Dr. Mercola's in depth interview with Dr. Chris Knobbe's remarkable findings on the history, cause, and prevention of AMD. Brilliant insight complementary to Dr. Chauhan's presentation. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqHbc3eqebGtb8U

No mention of saffron...

[@markharris1223]

I notice that peanut butter featured in an image accompanying your caveat about vegetable oil, and yet you recommend eating nuts once a week. Could you please clarify this matter, Doctor?

[@sharonlee996]

Peanuts are actually Legumes, like beans. Tree nuts is what is recommended, totally different from peanuts. and often peanut butter is a vegetable oil. (seed oil)

[@Photologistic]

Seed oils quadruple your risk of MD, wow. My vision improved on keto, my optometrist had to decrease my prescription.

[@hestervanderklooster2853]

Is there a good alternative for fish for vegetarians and vegans ?

[@veejayroth]

The omega-3 fatty acids (i mean the actually effective two - DHA and EPA) can be obtained from rather expensive vegan algae-based DHA supplements. The rest of the healthy stuff that is in fish? Not likely.

[@Nmethyltransferase]

It also helps to improve your ALnA:LA ratio. Basically, get rid of all extracted oils. Either use none at all, or stick to olive, high-oleic sunflower, H.O. safflower, coconut, palm, or macadamia oils. Nuts and seeds (and their butters) are fine, but 30 grams a day is plenty. It's good to rotate them, too. Whole food fermented soy is fine too, but one or two servings is plenty for the health benefits. No need to go _nuts_ over it! Just simple, basic, commonsense rules-of-thumb.

[@Nmethyltransferase]

Wait, wait... there's more! Sea{flesh}food also comes pre-packaged with certain minerals: zinc, selenium, and iodine. In combination with EPA/DHA, they're basically rocket fuel for the brain! Just take a zinc supplement, eat two Brazil nuts a day, and have a serving of seaweed daily. Or... look into "bivalveanism." 100-gram servings of oysters, mussels, and clams, three times a week--and most likely, you'll have no need for _any_ supplements!

[@roywalker7512]

Chocolate fish.

[@tohopes]

Yes the good alternative is AMD.

[@bendmadio]

I've been diagnosed with Macular Degeneration, but it's in early stages I guess, left eye only see a little bit darker around the center, I think I'll try eat more Spinach now

[@juliametcalf2660]

Enjoy the occalate poisoning ...you will do much better with omega3 foods like fish oils ....worked for me. I eat no vegetables

[@nopethataintitchief6739]

Cooking spinach is the better alternative.

[@sharonlee996]

@@juliametcalf2660 I am newly diagnosed with AMD. I am a carnivore and do not eat vegetables. I did look into the oxalate issue of spinach and nuts and found that eggs have more lutien than either nuts or spinach. I do eat all animal products including dairy and eggs. Oxalates just trigger arthritis for me. hope that helps

[@stuartkaufman6131]

So no frying or even sauteing of fish in any kind of oil??

[@renesonse5794]

No seek oils Olive oil is ok because it's not from seeds.

[@elenaberwick3980]

Incompetent ophthalmologists from Monash hospital eye clinic in Melbourne shall listen to this and learn. This is because they do not issue rating recommendations to clients, they do not recommend AREDS supplements and the only thing they are capable doing is watching how AMD goes from dry to wet

[@dainsorensen142]

Would have liked to hear about eye floaters.

[@Jan96106]

What do you want to know about them? The fluid in your vitreous clumps together as you get older. Those kind of floaters look like spider webs or amoeba. The only way you can get rid of most of them is by a vitrectomy (where they take out the fluid in your eye and replace it) , which I'd never have for such a trivial reason as it comes with risks. Another kind of floater one can have is due to leaky blood vessels or after eye surgery; those are black specs and they disappear as they are broken down and flushed out through the fluid circulating in the eye. I know because I've had both. I'm just a patient not a doctor. Hope this info helps.

[@ilfautdanser9121]

Leaky gut

[@veejayroth]

@@Jan96106 Jordan B. Peterson claims the floaters have cleared from his eyes after some time on zero carb carnivore diet.

[@hopeking3588]

I had floaters in my 30s! Then I was diagnosed with glucoma.people in my family have this too.thinks its heritary.

[@mjpucher]

I had pretty bad eye floaters when I turned 60 mostly from stress and gaining weight. When I went keto they cleared mostly. 5 years later I can only see them when I look straight into the sky or at a white surface. What seems to help is anything that improves your blood circulation such as onion, garlic and many other foods.

Dr Chauhan This presentation is on LoCarbDownunder. I therefore assume you are a proponent of low carb or keto diet. You loose credibility regarding lo carb diet, when you yourself have obvious abdominal fat. (Sugar, Fruit, Grains?) So your personal diet cannot be optimal for healing eyesight or preventing eye diseases. Sorry to be so blunt. Do you have a comment?

[@Adrrn]

Low carb?

[@Jan96106]

He said that a number of studies show that there is a high correlation between eating a lot of high glycemic foods (foods that quickly raise blood sugar) and an increased risk of AMD. However, he undercut or called those studies into question by suggesting that the results were tainted because low glycemic index foods are big money for the food industry. I think he is wrong to question the results of these studies. My own anecdotal evidence leads me to believe that in a few more years studies will confirm that sugar/carbs play a major role in causing AMD. (Read my other comment under this video to see why I believe this.) It is only a matter of time before the medical community catches up and acknowledges this.

Well design supplements have a lot more to offer than this good doctor believes. There is more to carrots than he believes too.
