Did you know that eating too much unhealthy fast food, even for one week, can cause notable damage to your body ? In a study, published online in GUT, the International Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 18 healthy adults, ate at least two fast food meals a day. It doubled their daily intake of calories. The study also limited their exercise. In just one week, half of the group had elevated levels of ALT enzymes, a common indicator of liver damage. By the end of the study, the entire group has gained an average of 14 pounds per participant. The conclusion? Our bodies just aren’t made to handle more than occasional fast foods.
