1:27:00
I gained 241/2 pounds,
my liver turned to fat,
1:27:03
and my cholesterol
shot up 65 points.
1:27:05
My body-fat percentage
went from 11% to 18%,
1:27:09
still below the national average
1:27:10
of 22% for men
and 30% for women.
1:27:12
I nearly doubled my risk
of coronary heart disease,
1:27:15
making myself twice as likely
to have heart failure.
1:27:18
I felt depressed and exhausted
most of the time.
1:27:20
My moods swung on a dime,
and my sex life was nonexistent.
1:27:24
I craved this food more and more
when I ate it
1:27:28
and got massive headaches
when I didn't.
1:27:30
In my final blood test,
1:27:31
many of my body functions
showed signs of improvement,
1:27:34
but the doctors
were less than optimistic.
1:27:38
I would very, very much doubt
1:27:39
that these numbers
will return to normal.
1:27:41
Although it did drop,
it was a small drop.
1:27:43
If you kept on the diet,
you'd definitely --
1:27:46
I know that you'd probably
develop coronary artery disease.
1:27:49
...inflammation
and hardening of the liver.
1:27:53
Should people
eat fast food?
1:27:54
No.
1:27:56
You know, the answer's no.
1:27:58
It certainly needs
to be very restricted
1:28:01
and balanced with,
overall, a healthy diet
1:28:04
and, overall, a lot of exercise.
1:28:06
And there's no reason whatsoever
1:28:07
why fast food
has to be so disgusting.
1:28:10
Fast food can be nutritious.
1:28:12
It's a cheap form of food,
1:28:13
and it does keep you
full for a while,
1:28:15
so you get your money's worth.
1:28:17
But unfortunately, you cause
some major harm to your heart,
1:28:20
your liver, your blood.
1:28:21
I wouldn't suggest
you continue the diet
1:28:24
for a year to check this out.
1:28:24
I don't think
it's appropriate or healthy,
1:28:27
especially with
what showed up with your liver.
1:28:29
So I shouldn't eat
this food for a year?
1:28:31
No, I don't think so.
1:28:33
We see people
who go on an alcohol binge,
1:28:36
and their numbers
go up like crazy,
1:28:38
but to go on a Mac attack...
1:28:41
and they've got numbers to show
that it attacks your liver, too.
1:28:45
Honestly, I wouldn't have
even thought about this.
1:28:48
But it makes sense.
1:28:50
Now that we have the data,
it definitely makes sense.
1:28:53
Still, the impact
of this initial lawsuit
1:28:56
is being seen far and wide.
