If it is true that...

Premature babies are often given extra oxygen, which tends to cause vasoconstriction by displacing carbon dioxide

and

Supplemental oxygen without carbon dioxide causes vasoconstriction, reducing the tissues' supply of glucose as well as oxygen and damages the retina when combined with too much light

Then it must be true that...

Retinopathy of prematurity has blinded tens of thousands of people

If it is true that...

Synthetic glucocorticoids are often given to premature babies, adding to the risk of retinal damage

and

The use of synthetic glucocorticoid hormone is standard in treating very premature babies although it is known to contribute to eye damage

Then it must be true that...

Retinopathy of prematurity has blinded tens of thousands of people

If it is true that...

Supplemental oxygen without carbon dioxide causes vasoconstriction, reducing the tissues' supply of glucose as well as oxygen and damages the retina when combined with too much light

and

Bright light contributes to retinal damage in babies

Then it must be true that...

Retinopathy of prematurity has blinded tens of thousands of people

If it is true that...

Retinal injury is caused by ordinary light when the eyes are sensitized by melatonin, prolactin, and polyunsaturated fats

and

Melatonin and prolactin are induced by stress

and

Darkness is a stress because it impairs mitochondrial energy production

and

Polyunsaturated fats that accumulate in the brain and retina damage mitochondria

Then it must be true that...

Retinopathy of prematurity has blinded tens of thousands of people

If it is true that...

The fetus accumulates a very large amount of iron and absorbs melatonin from the maternal circulation

and

Prolactin is sometimes elevated in the newborn

and

Premature babies are often given extra oxygen, which tends to cause vasoconstriction by displacing carbon dioxide

and

Synthetic glucocorticoids are often given to premature babies, adding to the risk of retinal damage

Then it must be true that...

Retinopathy of prematurity has blinded tens of thousands of people

If it is true that...

Light and stress, especially with excess iron, damage the retina when the cells contain too much PUFA

Then it must be true that...

Retinopathy of prematurity has blinded tens of thousands of people

If it is true that...

The use of synthetic glucocorticoid hormone is standard in treating very premature babies although it is known to contribute to eye damage

and

Cortisol-like drugs damage the brain and other organs

Then it must be true that...

Retinopathy of prematurity has blinded tens of thousands of people

If it is true that...

Iron supplements and supplemental oxygen can do the most damage when used with a vitamin E deficiency exacerbated by excessive unsaturated fats in the diet

Then it must be true that...

Retinopathy of prematurity has blinded tens of thousands of people
