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.
