Gotta wonder why pistachios might be better than lutein and n/omega-3s. I'm 100% in favor of getting what we need from our diets, but the thought that a medication that works better than lutein for macular degeneration might be lurking here...(!) I hope some researchers are chasing this. Back in the 80s my wife's uncle had MD - and there was little they could do for it. It's a devastating condition, particularly for someone like him.
