"Eating grapes may slow or prevent the onset of age-related macular
degeneration (AMD), the leading cause of blindness in older adults.
A recent study found that the antioxidant actions of grapes prevented
blindness and protected against oxidative damage of the retina in mice
that are prone to developing retinal damage.The grapes offered slightly
more protection than a supplement containing the antioxidants lutein
and zeaxanthin, which also help guard against oxidative damage.
The study suggests that AMD is the result of cumulative oxidative damage
over a long period."
