Eye Health
Emerging studies suggest that resistant starch may contribute to eye health. Two animal studies have shown that rats consuming RS2 resistant starch from high amylose corn developed significantly fewer lesions, photoreceptor abnormalities and advanced glycation end-products that precede age-related macular degeneration when compared to rats fed high glycemic starch. The glycemic health and insulin sensitivity benefits of resistant starch may contribute to these effects.

Famous quotes containing the words eye and/or health:
“All things are wearisome; more than one can express; the eye is not satisfied with seeing, or the ear filled with hearing. What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done; there is nothing new under the sun.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Ecclesiastes 1:8-9.
“The philanthropist too often surrounds mankind with the remembrance of his own cast- off griefs as an atmosphere, and calls it sympathy. We should impart our courage, and not our despair, our health and ease, and not our disease, and take care that this does not spread by contagion.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
