Too much red meat will make you go blind.

So much for my steak-only "megan" diet. From the Daily Mail:

Eating too much red meat can increase the risk of blindness by half, scientists have warned.

A new study shows those who eat ten or more portions of red meat every week are nearly 50 per cent more likely to develop age-related macular degeneration, or AMD - a cause of blindness in half a million Britons.

But the research also shows that eating chicken at least three times a week can cut the risk of blindness by more than half.
