Processed foods linked to glaucoma? Latest Research

[@Lascarnn]

Thank you for addressing the confounding factors. Really trustworthy review of the research. I'm so glad store shelves in my country (Poland) don't look like this.

I was informed that I had drusen appearing in the early stage of macular degeneration. I did a huge bunch of research and then instantly stopped eating all sugar and all other carbohydrates, all processed foods, and all seed oils. Went back in six weeks later for another retinal exam and was told there were no longer any drusen and both retinas were normal. All these nasty modern foods are causing all kinds of eye problems including glaucoma and who knows what else. I also had a number of other bodily problems that cleared right up when I stopped these "foods." They are almost poison.

Getting infrared light from the Sun also clears up drusen. More study reading for you. What did the doctor say at the second visit? Did he suggest anything at the first visit?

[@johnschmidt8440]

@@mballer The first ophthalmologist I saw was for the purpose of working on dry eyes, but he also did a retinal exam and told me he saw the drusen. Then he gave me the standard advice of taking lutein and omega 3 in the hopes of slowing down the progression. Of course that wouldn't work in the long run since nothing can stop the effects of so much bad food. That's why I stopped all the nasty stuff. The second doctor also did a retinal exam including taking a picture of the retinas and showing them to me. He looked and looked also with the hand-held magnifier and said he wasn't seeing anything at all. I asked him if there was anything unusual about the retinas at all and he said no. I'm going back three months after that exam and getting an OCT scan to look even more closely. If that also is good, then I think I'm in the clear. Needless to say, this whole episode has put me in high alarm mode, and I am intensively following a 100% noninflammatory diet, along with taking all the eye appropriate supplements, including having spinach every day.

​@@johnschmidt8440 Spinach is no health food it is very high in oxalates...

[@johnschmidt8440]

@@timshel011 Maybe so, but it's loaded with the specific nutrients for eyes. Then as a side bonus, it has been hugely beneficial for my intestinal problems. They were 95% gone very soon after I started it. I'll take that any day.

@@timshel011 Spinach is one of the highest oxilate foods out there. If you like kidney stones, keep eating spinach like Popeye.

[@JoAnn507]

I truly believe it because I was diagnosed with glaucoma and if I keep a low carb diet my eyes are fine and if I eat a little more carbs the next day day I woke up with puffy eyes and watery eyes because my eye pressure went up like crazy

They should test dairy and large consumption of sugar as well....

Hello doctor. What about insulin for glaucoma by Adriana di polo? The clinical trial ended on 1 December 2024 but I don’t now the results.

✨💞 💛 P.S. THE CARBONIZED CHARCOAL USED TO PROCESS WHITE SUGAR IS VERY BAD FOR YOUR HEALTH AND THE PRIMARY CAUSE OF CANCER

[@mballer]

Where did you come up with that idea?

[@donttalkcrap]

Firstly... You cannot just go around and spout stuff without backing it up with FACTS. It's dangerous and irresponsible. Secondly... there is no need to SCREAM IN ALL CAPS

Source please. And no need to yell.

Watch out, Dr. Chua, you might get cancelled, like JFK, Jr. did when teamed up with Trump and brought this very subject to the forefront. Interestingly, Time magazine's cover in Jan. 2023 was "Why Ultra-Processed Foods Are So Bad for You". Then, in August 2024, four days after JFK, Jr. announced his support for Trump, Time put out another article, "What if ultra-processed foods aren't as bad as you think?" Someone is getting paid somewhere.
