GRAPES IMPROVE YOUR EYESIGHT

Researchers in Singapore now say that eating grapes is good for your eyesight. The researchers studied whether consuming antioxidant-rich foods, like grapes, has a direct impact on the overall health of the eye. The report, published in Food & Function, discussed an experiment involving 34 adults who ate either one-and-a-half cups of grapes per day or a placebo snack for 16 weeks. Neither participants nor researchers knew if they were eating the placebo or the grapes. (* How do you NOT know you’re eating grapes? Come on!) They found that participants who ate grapes had clearly benefited from improved antioxidant abilities as well as macular pigment in the retina, which protects your eyes from damaging blue light. Those who ate the placebo saw a “significant increase” in harmful compounds that have been linked to various eye diseases.
* You know grapes improve your eyesight, because when you drink a lot of wine, you see double.
* And you need good eyesight, to look for all the spiders that hide in the grape bags at the supermarket.
* How good are grapes for you? A bunch!
* This is really pissing off carrots. (Or – “Sorry, carrots!”)
