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
. 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.
Thank you for uploading the original case study to the resources section. I see that malnutrition due to unhealthy eating habits is silently destroying the health of young people. Even high-intensity recreational activities like playing Friday Night Funkin (FNF) require intense concentration and excellent eyesight. If we don't pay attention to nutrition now, we will pay a heavy price for our hobbies.
Important piece that clarifies the British teen’s blindness was due to severe nutritional deficiencies from an eating disorder (ARFID), not just “junk food” or being picky — a compassionate reminder to understand eating disorders better and not judge. Really gave me a Jealousykind of respect for raising awareness!
