Vitamins E and C no use for AMD?

For years, doctors, nutritionists and patients believe that vitamins E and C are helpful to reduce risk to macular degeneration. Now, a new study shows that we may all be wrong. 

The research was done on some 14,000 patients. They are healthy, with no macular degeneration. They were divided into four groups. Two groups take vitamins E and C every day for eight years. Another two groups take a placebo. 

After eight years, a total of 193 cases of AMD were diagnosed. But there was an equal number in both the vitamin E and C groups when compared to the placebo groups. Researchers concluded that longer-term vitamin E and C supplementation may have no effect on the risk for age-related macular degeneration. 

But the study is not conclusive and further research in this area is warranted. Click here to read more.
