I totally agree, the main thing is to modify our diet, these ultra-processed foods are harming even our children, I am a migrant and I have been here in Lima, Peru for 7 years and I can see children of four or five years old consuming many sodas high in sugar!! And then I realize that there are many young people from 15 to 20 years old who use glasses or goggles, sugar is affecting the young people's eyesight and it's incredible how parents, for the convenience of not preparing a fresh juice for their children, buy these processed and high-sugar drinks!! We have to wake up to be able to have a good diet and save our family!! From serious illnesses!!
It's such a big problem. I hadn't thought about a link between sugar and eyesight, but reducing sugar might be partially responsible for my eyesight improving. My optometrist explained to me how inflammation can distort the optic lens.
We have to get the word out about how toxic so much of this "food" is. It's not that hard to read food labels, but people have no idea that they should be doing that.

It's true that we have to spread the word!! Since I've been here, I've adopted the good and nutritious part of their meals... for example, their breakfast drinks like Maca... Quinoa... and so on...!! They're delicious and nutritious... if you have time, research them and you'll see that they have a lot of benefits 👍

I'm familiar with both, but don't consume them much anymore. We went through a phase of eating lots of Peruvian style meals, now we mostly eat Indian style food.
