Are you putting your eyes at Steak for Macular Degeneration??

According to a study published in the April 2009 issue of American Journal of Epidemiology eating a lot of red meat raises the risk for age-related macular degeneration by 50%! The study examined 6,734 subjects aged 58 to 69 years who lived in Melbourne, Australia concluding that individuals who ate red meat 10 times per week were 50% more likely to develop AMD in old age.
