Summary
This study looks at whether eating yellow or white potatoes every day can increase levels of lutein and zeaxanthin in the blood and skin. These are nutrients that help with eye health. About 30 adults will eat potatoes daily and have their levels measured. The goal is to see if potatoes can be a simple way to improve nutrition.
