Thanks for the excellent article by Dr Chris Knobbe. I wonder how many read the entire article and absorbed the information about the dire consequences of our western diet throughout the world.

What I don’t see in all the comments posted are many references to diet. My eye Doctor told me many years to consume as much leafy greens as possible. I had changed my diet years ago to avoid as much sugar and refined flour and processed foods as possible. He also told me to take Areds2 which I did. I currently am taking one daily and plan to stop. I have also stopped some other vitamins and aim to get as much omega 3 and a rainbow color of vegetables daily…heavy on the leafy greens. I will continue to take some vitamins for my osteoporosis. My eyesight is precious to me. I have early onset dry MD in both eyes which has progressed very very little over the past 20 plus years. I have no organic problems and take no meds.

I certainly wouldn’t take any vitamin that upset my system no matter what my doctor said. So I can agree with those who chose to stop although I never experienced any side effects. There’s no magic cure in the multi billion dollar vitamin industry.

Until people realize that most of our major illness are diet related and change is essential to our well being, Big Pharma will continue to profit from our desire for a quick fix. Vitamins are not regulated and I have no love for the FDA who can’t get even keep up with all the supplements on the market today.

I may have gone off topic a tad but I am happy to read that people are researching and why they chose to discontinue this particular vitamin .
Now think long and hard about your own diet and where it could improve and what foods would help you the most and educate your Doctors on your choices.
