Experts, including doctors in Bristol, have issued a warning about four foods which can spur on the development of an age-related health issue that can lead to 'total blindness'.
In an article by the Express, Sharon Copeland from Feel Good Contacts, listed the foods which speed up the development of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The contact lens optician said that, while vision loss can come with age, it can also be sped up through poor dietary decisions and some specific food items pose a bigger danger than others.
She said: "Excess amounts of highly sweetened foods and refined carbohydrates (typically appear in the Western diet) can cause vision loss." She added that some of the worst refined carbohydrates include white bread, pasta and highly sweetened foods such as fizzy drinks and even ketchup.
