I would never make it to that third exercise day in the first week alive.
This is interesting.
“Eat less, move around more.”
Radical!
When Junk Food and Junk Science Collide!
I’ll go to Taco Bell less if you can the Freepathon ads turned off.
Otherwise, it’s enchiritos for me.
Does this seem repetitive?
“ScienceDaily (May 2, 2008) — Diets high in fast food can be highly toxic to the liver and other internal organs, but that damage can be reversed, says one of the country’s leading experts on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, who offers four steps to undo the effects of a ‘super-size me’ diet.
It was probably enough to make many Americans lose their appetite: A recent study from Europe showed that eating too much fast food – a diet high in fat and sugar – could cause serious damage to your liver.
Yet for those who overdo it with too many trips to their favorite burger joint, there’s good news. You can likely reverse the damage to your liver and other vital organs if you simply give up the unhealthy lifestyle, according to a leading liver specialist at Saint Louis University who conducted a similar study with mice.
“There’s strong evidence now that a fast-food type of diet – high in fat and sugar, the kind of diet many Americans subsist on – can cause significant damage to your liver and have extremely serious consequences for your health,” says Brent Tetri, M.D., professor of internal medicine at the Saint Louis University Liver Center and one of the country’s leading experts on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
“The good news is that most people can undo this damage if they change their diet and they keep physically active,” Tetri says. “If they don’t, however, they are asking for trouble.” “

I'm more concerned with the Alcohol damage.
“When Junk Food and Junk Science Collide!”
Spot on.
Some livers must be better at dealing with junk than others.
I’ve been eating almost exclusively fast food for 40 some years and am still waiting for the liver enzymes to rise and the obesity to arrive.
That bit about the Swedes gaining 12 pounds in a month tells me they must have been on a deprivation diet to start with. Snow?
The other day I was walking on a trail in a natural area near here when 4 or 5 deer suddenly ran across the trail. Someone coming from the other direction who also saw the deer commented to me, "Fast food."
When did "fast food" become an identifiable substance?
Just because the repeat themselves three times in five paragraphs, saying the same thing three times, that is three times in just five paragraphs, like taking five paragraphs to give the same information three times, doesn’t make it repetitive, does it?
Milk thistle is good for reparing the liver. (AFAIK, IMHO — you’ll have to look it up — never take medical advice from Internet forums without double checking.)
Tonight I'm having:
1. Field Peas
2. Cole Slaw
3. Cabbage
4. Spinach
5. Corn Bread
6. Sweet Iced Tea w/lemon
It's my Friday night 'vegetable plate' at Neighbors Restaurant.
Alcohol caused liver damage takes 12 steps to treat, whereas fast food liver damage only needs a four step program.
Yes, Yes, and Yes, you are correct and I agree with you all the way, 100% support from me, it is repetitive.
Is vodka a fast food?
