subject: Stop Consuming Vegetable Oil For Your Eye Health [print this page] Macular degeneration is a horrible eye disease because individuals with this condition are very likely to suffer total blindness. In a serious case, the way to blindness only takes several months. Even with the best treatment possible, only 10% of all patients of macular degeneration could save some degree of eyesight. This eye disease is so severe because it affects directly the center of the visual field, the macula. In the last 10 to 25 years, there has been a ten-fold increase in macular degeneration, according to researches conducted by an Australian doctor named Paul Beaumont. He and his colleagues have further found out that this unbelievable increase is closely related with the publics lack of butter and lard.
During the past 20 to 30 years, nearly all health nutritionists and doctors have been telling the public to stop eating butter because it contains lots of saturated fat which is bad for general health. However, there is even a worse ingredient that is widely used in daily lives. Practically every baby boomer has been consuming vegetable oil since birth. But in fact, a compound called HNE will be formed when vegetables such as corn, soybean are heated. Like sulfuric, HNE attacks the arteries, nerves and eye tissue. There are even many other diseases that are associated with HNE, such as Alzheimers Parkinsons, Huntingtons and liver disease. According to Paul Beaumonts research, the years filled with increased macular degeneration cases are also those when the general public stopped using butter and consumed vegetable oil.
This is a very astonishing discovery. Vegetable oil is probably the leading cause of the increase incidence of macular degeneration. The current society is unfortunately filled with processed foods containing or prepared with vegetable oil. Doctor Paul Beaumont suggests that the public should immediately stop the consumption of any vegetable oil and related products. Never believe the propaganda that vegetable oil is heart healthy. It has probably caused millions of cases of macular degeneration.
