Probably..............
“In the study, about 1.6 mg of lutein was provided from pistachios, which would be enough to double the average daily consumption of lutein...”
An egg contains about 1 mg lutein and comes with fat to aid absorption.
A serving of leafy greens like kale and spinach- even Romaine lettuce- has several times the amount of lutein that a serving of pistachios has.
Bell peppers, especially the green ones, are loaded with lutein.
Yellow sweet corn and corn products like corn chips and tortillas also have larger amounts of lutein than pistachios.
GREAT IDEA!

Other, less expensive sources of higher levels of lutein:
Kale, romaine lettuce, spinach, and corn. Other foods that have less lutein, include parsley and green pepper.
My multivitamin has 300 mcg, which is, imo, nearly insignificant.
One in each ear before election, good for mental health. With all the Harris, Hitler, Haley, Hinchcliffe, Hillary, I’m losing my grip.

Lutein is found in large quantities in much cheaper vegetables...talk about hijacking science research for monetary considerations
