This is what could happen if you live off of junk food.
A British teenager described as a “fussy eater” went blind and partially deaf after noshing nothing but potato chips, sausages, French fries and white bread for the past decade, according to an alarming case study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine over the weekend.
Upon questioning him about his daily dining habits, they learned that he ate French fries from the local fish and chips shop every day. He had also been living on Pringles chips, white bread, processed ham slices and sausages since he was in elementary school, because he didn’t like foods with certain textures.
The damage to the eye can be reversed if nutritional optic neuropathy is caught early, but it was too late in this teen’s case. The decade of a highly-processed diet packed with added salt, sugar and refined carbohydrates had taken its toll.
