Morning “Staple” Causes BLINDNESS?!

By Jack Taylor Posted June 13, 2021

Dear Turapür Today Reader, 

As we age, precious parts of our health (that we once took for granted!) can start to deteriorate. 

Like your skin’s elasticity…  

Your joint and muscular flexibility…   

Your mind’s sharpness… 

Your hair’s color and thickness…   

And while no one wants to succumb to these age-related changes, there’s one change you definitely want to avoid:  

Losing your sight. Because vision loss means that many of the things you once loved to do come to a screeching halt.  

From fun things like playing golf, right down to your basic independence like driving your car. 

But even if you think there’s no way that blindness could rob you of your freedom… there’s new research to suggest that it certainly can. 

And even worse, one of your favorite “morning staples” could be a culprit! 

According to a recent study published in the journal Ophthalmology, consuming large amounts of daily caffeine may increase your risk of glaucoma – which is the leading cause of blindness in the U.S. 

And yes, that includes the caffeine found in your favorite morning beverage. 

But there’s a catch… 

You see, the connection between a lot of caffeine and glaucoma boils down to something called intraocular pressure (IOP) which is pressure inside the eye. If you have high IOP, it can be a major risk factor for developing glaucoma.  

Researchers found that too much caffeine doesn’t necessarily make your IOP go up, but for folks that naturally have higher eye pressure, greater caffeine consumption was connected to higher IOP and higher instances of glaucoma.  

In other words, drinking too much caffeine (including coffee) isn’t going to start increasing your eye pressure… but if you are genetically predisposed to higher eye pressure, having too much caffeine can be troublesome for your vision.  

Now, I want to be perfectly clear… caffeine (especially coffee) is NOT BAD!   

This study just highlights that when it comes to drinking caffeine, consume it in MODERATION.  

Sticking to no more than three cups of coffee each day will ensure you’re not drinking too much caffeine. And if you have the hankering for an extra cup, having a cup of decaf coffee is perfectly fine.  

Now, when it comes to understanding your risk for glaucoma, it’s important to have regular exams with your eye doctor who can tell you if you’re eye pressure is too high.  

Your eyes could also benefit from vitamin B3. Studies have shown that vitamin B3 (aka niacin) can help prevent glaucoma. 

Niacin can be found at most health food stores or vitamin retailers, usually for less than $10 per bottle.
