Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Teenage boy goes blind after existing on Pringles, white bread and French fries
Many children are fussy eaters. They aren’t easily satisfied with the foods that their parents or carers prepare for them and often crave for certain foods like junk food or soda. Such behavior usually changes as children grow and does not cause so much trouble for their health.
However, when fussy eating, or particular food craving becomes a person’s main diet for some time, such practice could cause serious malnutrition and health problems.
There is a teenage boy who kept eating French fries, white bread and potato chips severely suffered from tiredness, hearing loss and vision symptoms even though he had normal height and weight. When he turned 17, he lost his vision. He was diagnosed with a lack of Vitamin V12, a nutrient that helps keep the body’s nerve and blood cells healthy and make DNA. The nutrient is contained in meat, fish, poultry, eggs, milk and other dairy products. Apparently, none of the foods he was eating provides such essentials.
How much you eat or weigh doesn’t seem to show you how healthy you are.
Read the article and learn how dangerous an extreme eating habit could be to one’s health.
