Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a leading cause of blindness in the U.S., is said to be a disease associated with aging, but Dr. Chris Knobbe believes it’s mostly related to diet
Nine years of extensive research and investigation have led Knobbe to conclude that AMD is driven by nutrient deficiencies and toxicity, caused by processed foods
In 1900, the top four causes of death were infectious in nature; by 2010, this had all changed, with chronic diseases replacing infectious diseases as the top killers
The four primary components that make up processed foods that are, in turn, contributing to chronic diseases like AMD are sugar, industrially processed seed oils, refined flour and trans fats; industrially processed seed oils are clearly the worst offender
According to Knobbe, there were only 50 cases of AMD described across the globe between 1851 and 1930; this skyrocketed to an estimated 196 million cases in 2020
Knobbe believes that by following an ancestral diet rich in grass fed meat and poultry, pastured dairy, wild-caught fish, vegetables, nuts and seeds, the majority of AMD cases would disappear
