What Is The Reason For Macular Degeneration As I Take Healthy Food With Rich Fiber?
I just got the diagnosis of macular degeneration and wonder if taking 2 tab of ground flax seed 5 days a week for the last 3 years could have contributed to it. One eye is dry and the is wet. I eat very healthy taking 25 grams of fiber per day and lots of fruits and vegetables.

Look macular degeneration is genetic in origin and nothing to take with your diet what ever your eating, but of course certain chemical exposure does this and trauma too, but for sure not the diet have nice day.
