vitamins

I've read in two different places, that more than 100 mg per day of riboflavin (B2) can increase pressures. Can anybody confirm or deny this? Thanks.

Ellen Troyer and others had a nice conversation about resveratrol in the FitEyes.com mailing list. (I can post the whole conversation below if requested.) 

I enjoyed reading this conversation. There are lots of good points here. However, for me, the single most important statement was the one below by Ellen.

Since resveratrol is only one of the nutrients found in grapes and wine, it makes biological sense that it would be the most effective when presented with a balanced amount of other polyphenols molecules. 

Glaucoma is an eyesight ailment characterized by an increase of pressure of the fluid within the eyeball.  This increased pressure causes abnormal changes in the optic nerve and defects in the field of vision.

The information in the Review of Ophthalmology article by August L. Reader III, MD, FACS, San Francisco, is very interesting. However, as you read it keep in mind that what is presented is a mix of strongly supported evidence and speculation. For example, section on carrot-family herbs contains a lot of pure speculation. It is still interesting and I have presented a portion of the article here.
