Age-Related Eye Disease & Antioxidants - AREDs 10 years later - FORD BREWER MD MPH

Episode Summary

AREDs are Age-Related Eye Disease. It is a major cause of blindness and loss of sight. It really is prevented by supplements: Vitamins A, C, E, and Zin. These are very high doses, the kind you won't get in a routine multivitamin. Since eyes are derived from the same tissue as the brain, and biologically behind the blood-brain barrier, you have to wonder about the implications re: the meaning of this. Would antioxidant supplementation at this level protect the brain as well? This specific video is about the 10-year follow-up on the AREDs study population. Yes, it is still protected against AREDs. But guess what? It also protected against overal death. Hmm. The original video on AREDs ( pt 1 ) is at the following link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzghQN-E68I&t=0s
