Did you know? A study published in the August 2008 issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that eating oily fish (like salmon) more than once a week may lower the odds of developing severe macular degeneration by 50%, compared to those who eat oily fish less than once per week. The same study showed that those who consumed the most fish reduced their odds by 2/3. This study did not address the use of fish-oil supplements, so do yourself a favor and enjoy the real fish!

Did you also know? These results are similar to a study I mentioned last year, published in the Archives of Ophthalmology.
