Answer to Question 1

Oxidative stress appears to play a significant role in the development of cataracts but supplements of the antioxidant nutrients (vitamin C, vitamin E, and carotenoids) do not seem to prevent or slow the progression. By comparison, a healthy diet that includes plenty of fruits and vegetables rich in these antioxidants does seem to slow the progression or reduce the risk of developing cataracts. Also, people who follow the Dietary Guidelines for Americans are reported to have fewer cataracts, though cataracts can occur even in well-nourished individuals due to exposure to ultraviolet light, oxidative damage, viral infections, toxic substances, genetic disorders, injury, or other trauma. One other diet-related factor that may play a role in cataract development is obesity. How obesity may influence the development of cataracts is not known. Risk factors that typically accompany overweight, such as inactivity, diabetes, or hypertension, do not explain the association.
