A recent study published in Food Science & Nutrition suggests that drinking instant coffee could increase the risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
Researchers analyzed data from 500,000 participants and found a potential link between instant coffee consumption and AMD, a leading cause of irreversible blindness.
Instant coffee drinkers were reported to be 700% more likely to develop dry AMD, highlighting the importance of personalized prevention strategies based on genetic predisposition.
The study raises concerns about the impact of instant coffee on eye health and provides insights into the potential genetic influences on dietary preferences and eye diseases.
