bumping with new information..

New studies show using high dose B6, B12, and Folate, reduces
macular degeneration. This study followed 5000 women for 7 years!

Quote:

After 7.3 years of follow-up, those reports had turned up 82 cases of age-related macular degeneration among women taking placebos and only 55 cases in the women getting the vitamin supplements.

While an explanation for the apparent protection from macular degeneration remains unknown, it is known that folate, B-6 and B-12 can drive down blood concentrations of homocysteine, a compound suspected of damaging blood vessels. Researchers have tried to finger homocysteine in heart disease, but studies have failed to show a heart benefit from reducing homocysteine levels.

It is something to think about.
