100% fruit juice increases the risk of “irreversible blindness”

Eyesight can deteriorate due to a wrong lifestyle adopted over a period of time . A popular soft drink may increase your risk of 'irreversible blindness.'

There are many threats to eye health, some of which are out of your control, such as the aging process. Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) – an eye disease that can cloud your central vision – has been linked to poor lifestyle decisions.

A new study aimed to find out whether increasing consumption of 100% fruit juice risk of age-related macular degeneration. The results showed that consumption of 100% fruit juice increased the risk of progressive VDV. This discovery is both startling and controversial, as the role of 100% fruit juice in influencing health is disputed.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. Further research is needed before dietary recommendations can be made based on these findings.

Furthermore, this finding is controversial because, unlike other sugar-sweetened beverages, 100 percent fruit juice is rich in vitamins , minerals and antioxidants. When eating the recommended amount of fruits and vegetables, it is better to eat them (whole) than to drink them (juice).

One cup of fruit juice, even 100% fruit juice, contains much more sugar than one slice or one serving of whole fruit.
