Wine consumption showed the strongest protective effect, suggesting that antioxidants which are abundant in red wine may play a role in cataract prevention.
- Wine consumption showed the strongest protective effect, suggesting that antioxidants which are abundant in red wine may play a role in cataract prevention.
- But over time, cataracts eventually make it more difficult to read, drive a car or see people's faces.
- However, the researchers note that their study does not establish causation, only a strong association between alcohol consumption and cataracts.
- "The fact that our findings were particularly evident in wine drinkers may suggest a protective role of polyphenol antioxidants, which are especially abundant in red wine."
