Regularly eating a small serving of dried goji berries may help prevent or delay the development of age-related macular degeneration, or AMD.
AMD is the leading cause of vision loss in older people, and is estimated to affect more than 11 million in the US and 170 million globally.
"AMD affects your central field of vision and can affect your ability to read or recognize faces," said Glenn Yiu, professor.
The researchers found that 13 healthy participants aged 45 to 65 who consumed 28 grams (about one ounce, or a handful) of goji berries five times a week for 90 days increased the density of protective pigments in their eyes. In contrast, 14 study participants who consumed a commercial supplement for eye health over the same period did not show an increase.
The pigments that increased in the group that ate goji berries, lutein and zeaxanthin, filter out harmful blue light and provide antioxidant protection. Both help to protect the eyes during aging.
"Lutein and zeaxanthin are like sunscreen for your eyes," said lead author Xiang Li, a doctoral candidate.
"The higher the lutein and zeaxanthin in your retina, the more protection you have. Our study found that even in normal healthy eyes, these optical pigments can be increased with a small daily serving of goji berries," said Li.
She researched compounds in goji berries and found they contain high quantities of lutein and zeaxanthin, known to reduce the risk of eye diseases related to AMD. The form of zeaxanthin in goji berries is also a highly bioavailable form, according to Li.
The current treatment for intermediate stages of AMD uses special dietary supplements, called AREDS, that contain vitamins C, E, zinc, copper and lutein and zeaxanthin. No known therapy has yet been shown to impact early stages of AMD.

The article does not distinguish between wet and dry AMD. A lot of things that are helpful for the dry are useless on the wet.
If I were to eat everything that the internet says protects against some problem of aging, I would weigh 800 pounds and die long before I hit 65.
Rupert Goji has stated that he is not now nor can be
expected to be in favor of having his berries dried.
Relevant to your interests PING.
The quickest way to dry your berries: marriage.
Later.

Been eating them for years.
Yes but you would be a healthy 800 lbs
😜🤣😂😅
Ok. Safeway has the Himalania Anitoxident(4oz.) and the Himalania Dark chocolate Gogis(6oz.) Which one? I guess the chocolate since the dark stuff is good but then maybe it’s the chocolate. Please educate me.

B S study. 13 out of how many in the study? 100? 50?
But if you went to the website that has the original article you would be know that your chance of dying from a heart attack while having sex is very low!
Researchers find dying from a heart attack while having sex is rare
It is important to have a balanced diet of good news and things to worry about.
Just take Areds which is over the counter and Docs use this for macular degeneration. It has most of the same stuff in it and is cheap. Amazon has it and you can have it in two days.
I’ve been taking lutein and zeaxanthin for several years now, at the direction of our eye doctor.
