High glycemic carbs linked to AMD

According to a study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, heavy consumption of high glycemic foods, those which break down faster into glucose, increase the risk of age-related macular degeneration by as much as 40% (in those consuming the highest amount).

High glycemic foods are considered simple carbohydrates, such as cakes and cookies, cheese pizza, white bread, and foods sweetened with sugar and corn syrup.
