A teenager ended up completely blind after spending years eating almost exclusively French fries, white bread, and Pringles. Yes, it sounds exaggerated, but doctors in the United Kingdom confirmed that the damage was real and permanent.
The young man, Harvey Dyer, began showing symptoms from the age of 14. Extreme fatigue, hearing loss, and vision problems. Doctors discovered a severe deficiency of vitamin B12, copper, and vitamin D.
By age 17, he had already completely lost his sight due to nutritional optic neuropathy. And the most disturbing thing is that he had a normal weight, so no one suspected malnutrition.
