Glaucoma is a common eye condition caused by increased pressure inside of the eye. It can damage your vision. You and your ophthalmologist may want to review the article and research summary for “Folate Associated with Decreased Glaucoma Risk” in the April 2014 issue of Natural Standard’s Integrative Medicine Newsletter. It states “The researchers found that there was a trend of a twenty-five percent reduced risk of glaucoma when comparing data for those who consumed the most folate to those who consumed the least.” What is your level of folate intake? Note in the research summary that the folate source tracked was from intake of supplemental folate.
