It’s also known that eating chicken would decrease that same likelihood by 50%. They suspect that the saturated fats in red meats decrease the blood flow to the macula resulting in AMD.

Personally, I no longer consume red meat, however, it does introduce protein into our systems and can have positive effects on us if consumed in moderation. I only question why protein sources such as eggs, fish and chicken, which are healthier and have been shown to prevent certain ocular conditions, are not chosen over red meat?

Dump the simple carbs and the red meat!!!
