Everyone knows (or at least should know) that a diet consisting of little more than potato chips and french fries is going to lead to poor health. For one teen in the UK, a refusal to eat anything but carb-heavy junk food ultimately cost him far more than anyone could have guessed.
The boy’s case is described in a new paper published in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine, which notes that the unnamed 14-year-old boy was considered a “fussy eater” when he was first seen by doctors. During that initial check, he was noted as having low vitamin B12 levels and was advised to change his diet. He did not follow that advice.
