Foods with antioxidant function and their repercussions in diabetic retinopathy

Alimentos con función antioxidante y sus repercusiones en la retinopatía diabética

Abstract

Mr. Editor:

I had the opportunity to review an article published in the first edition of the journal of the Facultad de Medicina Humana de la Universidad Ricardo Palma this year, which is entitled consumption of foods rich in antioxidants in outpatients with diabetic retinopathy at the hospital la carlota during 2021, identified with DOI n° 10.25176/RFMH.v22i1.4121 and written by Raquel Martínez-Kurata, et al., where they sought to find the amount of antioxidant consumption focusing on vitamins C, E and selenium in patients with diabetic retinopathy (DR), which managed to capture my attention and aroused my curiosity, motivating me to seek more information about it. Let me comment on some points of view in common with the authors.
