Age-related macular degeneration is a common eye disease that can lead to blindness, affecting both elderly and younger individuals due to modern lifestyle stress on the eyes. A recent study highlights the Gac fruit, often referred to as 'fruit from heaven', which contains an aril extract effective in reducing oxidative stress in retinal cells, thus protecting the eyes from degeneration. While Gac oil products are widely available, consumers should be cautious about quality and ingredients, such as the potentially harmful 'propylparaben', found in some products from Southeast Asia. Gac's lycopene content is notably higher than tomatoes, but should be consumed without fibrous foods like avocados to maximize absorption.
