Research just released shows that in 1837 people with early signs of macular degeneration individuals who ate the most Omega 3 had a 30% less advanced form of the disease.

This is a welcome finding as 1.75 Million people in the US suffer from Macular Degeneration and in fact it is the leading course of blindness. The researchers feel is the anti inflammatory properties of the Omega 3 having the effect. The findings could lead to people with the condition being advised to increase their consumption of Omega 3 from dietary sources such as oily fish, ostrich, lamb, walnuts and flaxseed.
