TL;DR: Empirical literature about ARC and ARM is reviewed with emphasis on roles for vitamins C and E and carotenoids, since glycation and glycoxidation are major molecular insults which involve an oxidative stress component, and new literature that relates dietary carbohydrate intake to risk for ARC andARM is reviewed.

TL;DR: While management of dietary GI appears to be an effective intervention for the prevention of metabolic diseases, specifically AMD and DR, more interventional data is needed to evaluate the efficacy of GI management and an urgent need to develop reliable biomarkers of exposure, surrogate endpoints, as well as susceptibility for GI.

TL;DR: Questions about methodological issues and consistency of epidemiological data and clinical trials that need to be resolved in order to exploit the benefits of consuming lower GI diets are addressed in this review.

TL;DR: The data indicate that overall diet is significantly associated with the odds of AMD and that dietary management as an AMD prevention strategy warrants further study.

TL;DR: The findings show an association of consuming a diet rich in DHA with a lower progression of early AMD, and a lower dGI with higher intakes of DHA and EPA was associated with a reduced progression to advanced AMD.
