That’s funny. Toilet paper manufacturers shoes announce shortage just before their fiscal announcements come out.

I love pistachios, but they are somewhat expensive.
Couldn’t I get my required luteum from tablet supplements?
I’ve seen them sold. and at low prices.

Sounded interesting until I saw it was from Tufts, those same people who told us Lucky Charms were healthier than ground beef.

And if millions americans eat pistachios for 6 months, the American Pistachio Growers gets billions, but if our eyesight doesn’t get any better, what recourse do we have?

I guess I can’t blame the American Pistachio Growers association for their borderline fraud. But who is this Scitech daily, and how much are they making for publishing this junk?

Costco has a lutein/Zeaxanthin supplement for about $20.

They have 3 supplements that contain lutein.

The one I use is from Trunature.

Thanks for the tip. I’ll study up on it. review the side effects and basic med interactions.
I have already stopped driving at night for everybody’s safety. Maybe that can be changed.

Lutein and zeaxanthin are fat-soluble antioxidants that are
important for eye health and may help prevent macular
degeneration and cataracts
