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:
“A good metaphor is something even the police should keep an eye on.”
—G.C. (Georg Christoph)
“Nothing in Nature’s sober found,
But an eternal health goes round.

Fill all the glasses there—for why
Should every creature drink but I?
Why, man of morals, tell me why?”
