Heiner Boeing,Angela Bechthold,Achim Bub,Sabine Ellinger,Dirk Haller,Anja Kroke,Eva Leschik-Bonnet,Manfred J. Müller,H Oberritter,Matthias B. Schulze,Peter Stehle,Bernhard Watzl +11 more
TL;DR: This critical review on the associations between the intake of vegetables and fruit and the risk of several chronic diseases shows that a high daily intake of these foods promotes health.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular pathology of age-related macular degeneration
TL;DR: The molecular pathological findings in both humans and animal models, including genetic variations in CFH, CX3CR1, and ARMS2/HtrA1, as well as the role of numerous molecules implicated in inflammation, apoptosis, cholesterol trafficking, angiogenesis, and oxidative stress are summarized.

Iron behaving badly: inappropriate iron chelation as a major contributor to the aetiology of vascular and other progressive inflammatory and degenerative diseases
TL;DR: The production of peroxide and superoxide is an inevitable consequence of aerobic metabolism, and while these particular reactive oxygen species (ROSs) can exhibit a number of biological effects, they are not of themselves excessively reactive as discussed by the authors.

Iron Behaving Badly: Inappropriate Iron Chelation as a Major Contributor to the Aetiology of Vascular and Other Progressive Inflammatory and Degenerative Diseases
TL;DR: It is argued that the role of poorly liganded iron has been rather underappreciated in the past, and that in combination with peroxide and superoxide its activity underpins the behaviour of a great many physiological processes that degrade over time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dietary sources of lutein and zeaxanthin carotenoids and their role in eye health.
TL;DR: Recent scientific evidences supporting the benefits of lutein and zexanthin in preventing the onset of two major age-related eye diseases with diets rich in these carotenoids are reviewed.

Gilbert S. Omenn,Gary E. Goodman,Gary E. Goodman,Mark D. Thornquist,John R. Balmes,Mark R. Cullen,Andrew G. Glass,James P. Keogh,Frank L. Meyskens,Barbara Valanis,James H. Williams,Scott Barnhart,Scott Barnhart,Samuel P. Hammar +13 more
TL;DR: After an average of four years of supplementation, the combination of beta carotene and vitamin A had no benefit and may have had an adverse effect on the incidence of lung cancer and on the risk of death from lung cancer, cardiovascular disease, and any cause in smokers and workers exposed to asbestos.

TL;DR: People older than 55 years should have dilated eye examinations to determine their risk of developing advanced AMD and those with extensive intermediate size drusen, at least 1 large druse, noncentral geographic atrophy in 1 or both eyes, or advanced AMD or vision loss due to AMD in 1 eye should consider taking a supplement of antioxidants plus zinc.

Total energy intake: implications for epidemiologic analyses
TL;DR: While pitfalls in the manipulation and interpretation of energy intake data in epidemiologic studies have been emphasized, these considerations also highlight the usefulness of obtaining a measurement of total caloric intake, which is not accomplished with nutrient density measures of dietary intake.

Meta-Analysis: High-Dosage Vitamin E Supplementation May Increase All-Cause Mortality
Edgar R. Miller,Roberto Pastor-Barriuso,Darshan Dalal,Rudolph A. Riemersma,Lawrence J. Appel,Eliseo Guallar +5 more
TL;DR: This meta-analysis of 19 randomized, controlled trials involving more than 135000 participants found that high-dosage vitamin E supplementation (400 IU/d for at least 1 year) increased all-cause mortality.

TL;DR: It is shown that factor H (HF1), the major inhibitor of the alternative complement pathway, accumulates within drusen and is synthesized by the retinal pigmented epithelium, implicating HF1 function in the pathogenetic mechanisms underlying AMD.
