"About 20 million Americans older than 40 develop cataracts--the leading cause of blindness worldwide...

In an analysis of 417 women aged 53 to 73, researchers found that those women whose average intake of carbohydrates were between 200 and 268 grams per day were 2.5 times more likely to develop cataracts than those whose intakes averaged between 101 and 185 grams per day.

"The analysis was part of the Nutrition and Vision Project, a substudy of the federally funded Nurses' Health Study."

These women had no previous history of cataracts.
