A new study from the Stanford University College of Medicine has found that a nutritional supplement derived from turmeric significantly reduces the risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the leading cause of vision loss among Americans.

The retrospective cohort study followed nearly 2 million people aged 50 or older. It found that people who took curcumin supplements reduced their risk of developing AMD and blindness by more than 50 percent.
