A British Teenager is Blind, But Not Because of Junk Food or “Fussy Eating”

There has been widespread media coverage this week about a recent case about a British teenager blinded by severe nutritional deficiencies. Sadly, much of the coverage has been inaccurate and missed the point. He wasn’t blinded by junk food and he wasn’t just a fussy eater.


An objective and factually correct article appeared in 'Science based medicine' that does well to set the record straight on some important details that have been missed by the popular press

Posted in: Science and Medicine

. The article, written by Clay Jones, and published on September 6th can be read here. We have also obtained the original case report (Harrison et al 2019 Blindness caused by a junk food diet) and have uploaded it to the resources section of our website.

Planning a renovation project and wanted to add a creative twist? TopMaster gave me great ideas using LEGO as decor elements. And thanks to Link.ua, I easily found nearby professionals to help with the work.
