Junk Food Is Dreadful! Teenager Turns Deaf and Blind

The 17 year old had stopped eating proper meals when he was seven years old.

The family lived in Bristol, UK, said initially they suspected that something was wrong when the teen’s hearing slowly started subsiding down when he was just 14 years old.

It became apparent later by series of subsequent tests that he had “Avoidant-Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) and his successive lack of nutrition had broken down his optic nerve, causing a condition known as nutritional optic neuropathy (NON).

After completing school education he got into college to do a course in IT.

Mother also said that, because of his dreadful condition even she had to leave her pnb job, and now looking after him full-time.

The mum reflected about his problems, all began with the junk eating, he only ate Pringles, sausages, chips, processed ham and white bread since the age of seven – though this unhealthy diet but didn’t pop up through obesity, as one might typically expect.
