Fried-potato diet causes vitamin A deficiency in an autistic child.
JPEN. Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition 2012 November
A 5-year-old boy with autism developed dry eye and xerophthalmia. Serum vitamin A was undetectable. Dietary history revealed a markedly altered intake consisting of only fried potatoes and rice balls for 2 years. Fried potatoes contain no vitamin A.

Attention to possible vitamin A deficiency is essential when fried potatoes are consumed exclusively.
