Look elsewhere. This pub is awful., Sep 3 2007
By JBG - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Bilberry & Lutein--The Vision Enhancers!: Protect Against Cataracts, Macular Degeneration, Glaucoma, Retinopathy & Other Health Problems (Paperback)
Bilberry & Lutein is replete with words and phrases like "ischaemia reperfusion injury", "artiolar tone", and "vasomotion". But mostly they are not anywhere defined. Evidently the reader is supposed to dope out their meaning from context. Lotsa luck.Again, there are sentences like, "Italian researchers also showed that bilberry anthocyanosides was beneficial against on ischaemia reperfusion injury...."
And there are facts like, "Corn is the vegetable with the highest quantity of lutein...". (According to the USDA database, spinach, kale, and various other kinds of greens contain many times as much lutein per unit weight as corn.)
I read a lot of health literature. I found Lutein & Bilberry exceedingly difficult to puzzle out, and to the extent I managed to do so, rather unreliable. It reads as though written by someone whose first language is not English, whose knowledge of the subject matter going in was zero, and whose "research" consisted of reading abstracts of journal articles and copying out sentences from them not too carefully. I find the pamphlet (at 28 pages of large-print text, it certainly is not a book) so bad that I have strong doubts about the genuineness of the three enthusiastic reviews that are standing as I write this one. Bilberry and lutein are undoubtedly good for you, but if you want the details, look elsewhere.
At the end of the pamphlet is a full-page, 30-item, list of titles (including Bilberry & Lutein), all but two by Beth Ley, offered for sale by BL Publications. For me, this author's name on any publication is sufficient reason to reject it without further consideration.
For info on the significance of Ms. Ley's "Ph. D.", see:

This review is from: Bilberry & Lutein--The Vision Enhancers!: Protect Against Cataracts, Macular Degeneration, Glaucoma, Retinopathy & Other Health Problems (Paperback)
This book is short, yet it covers all the essential information you need regarding Bilberry and Lutein for healthy eyes.Ley covers it all in easy to understand language. A fast read for busy readers who don't want to be short-changed on information. The title of this book is a perfect summary of its contents.

PROTECTING OUR EYES!, Oct 15 2006
By Dorothy Weiss - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Bilberry & Lutein--The Vision Enhancers!: Protect Against Cataracts, Macular Degeneration, Glaucoma, Retinopathy & Other Health Problems (Paperback)
This is an easy to read guide to learning about our eyes and how to safeguard our vision. This compact thirty-nine page phamplet offers insight into Macular Degeneration, Cataracts, Glaucoma, Diabetic Retinopathy, Night Blindness, "Snow" Blindness, Antioxidants, Bilberry, Lutein, and nuturing properties contained in some foods.Author Beth M. Ley, Ph.D, has given us the first step, the basics, in helping us to help ourselves. I especially liked the chapter on foods. Spinach, collard greens, leeks, peas, kiwi fruit, zucchini, corn, grapes, kale, squash, broccoli. I knew about carrots but not the other veggies and fruits.
Author Ley includes results of studies documenting those at risk for eye damage, and emphasizes that our eyes are our most delicate and sensitive organs. Protect them.
Read the book. It is clear, informative, helpful.
