Teen loses eyesight from years’ long bad diet, report says
A British teenager who had been a "fussy eater" since elementary school lost his vision and suffered significant hearing loss due to his years’ long diet of junk food, according to a recently published case report.
When the boy was 14, he complained to his family doctor of tiredness. "He was a 'fussy eater' but was otherwise well and took no medications," said the report, published in the Annals of Internal Medicine. The doctor gave him vitamin B12 injections and advice on his diet.
