Therefore, since I'm trying to lose weight I only eat a couple eggs a week.
My best guess is it started a little after I started eating organic coconut oil. After that I upped other healthy fat intake after reading about increasing healthy fats will help me go low carb. I've been eating plenty of EggBeaters with coconut oil and cream because, like I said, I stay full longer with those fats and I'm trying to lose weight. Once I eat maintenance weight, I'll switch to eggs instead of Eggbeaters. My best guess the improvement was due to the coconut oil. I'd love to buy some eggs right off the farm where I KNOW they're cage free and eating grass because I surmise the yolks would then be the way nature intended and might be just as beneficial as the organic coconut oil.

Floaters are associated with Diabetes as are other eyesight problems and while they in themselves may be as harmless as skin tags it's what is causing them that leads to other troubles.
Diabetes is related to faulty glucose metabolism. Hyperglycemia leads to retinopathy, retina microaneurysms though high glucose-induced injury on human retinal endothelial cells. Lowering your glucose levels with a higher fat lower carbohydrate diet is going to prevent the damage glycation causes, thereby giving your eyes a chance to heal.
Perhaps I should also point out the my latest glasses prescription (I've now got smarter ones than in the photo) showed improvement in my sight over the last 5 yrs. Which approaching 67 is surprising. I'd have been pleased if they were no worse. I have lost all my skin tags as well but they disappeared when I lost weight.
