Effect of Bad Fats on Sight
Decreasing one's intake of specific types of fat, rather than fats in general, may help to lower a person's risk of the eye disease known as age-related macular degeneration.
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a currently untreatable (by traditional methods) disease that causes fuzziness, shadows or other distortions in the center of vision. It is also the most common cause of blindness.
Some fats, such as those found in processed foods, may increase an individual's risk of the eye condition, while other fats, such as the omega-3 fatty acids found in tuna, salmon and other coldwater fish, may decrease one's risk.
The Archives of Ophthalmology August (2001;119:1191-1199) reported that people who reported diets rich in omega-3 fatty acids and low in linoleic acid, found in corn and safflower oil, had a decreased risk of the disease.
