Additional Story

"When I was 62 I had an eye exam. Afterward, the ophthalmologist told me I had perfect eye health and that he had never seen that in a person over 60 years old. No trace of macular degeneration, cataracts, glaucoma, or diabetes in my eye. He asked what do you do to accomplish this? I told him I had been eating broccoli sprouts, 1 1/2 oz. daily since the age of 49. He told me that the science between eating broccoli and retinal health, in general, is so well established that he tells all his patients to eat as much broccoli as possible. Then he went on to say “The problem is you can’t eat enough.” I then told him that broccoli sprouts were 50 times more potent in sulforaphane content than mature broccoli. He responded I’m telling all my patients."

When I saw him again at 64 my eye health was still perfect. By the way, being an avid golfer I’m out in the sun 5 hours four days a week which compounds the feat of not having cataracts.

Then there is the presence of plaque-causing genes and the effect they have on the small veins in the eyes. I began showing the presence of cataracts at my next exam at the age of 67.
