Interestingly, they saw no relationship between whole grain intake and the risk of cataracts. On the other hand, those with the highest level of legume intake (of 4 levels) were 67% less likely to develop cataracts than those in the lowest level of legume intake.
Indeed, the authors calculated that increasing one's intake of legumes by 75 grams per day decreased a participants' risk of cortical cataract by 16%, nuclear cataract by 40%, and posterior subcapsular cataract by 41%.
