it aint the weight!
he goes from a very healthy fit person with very low cholesterol (sp) blood pressure etc to someone with the complete opposite and in such drastic amounts that by the third week the three doctors tell him he could be in the emergency room if he doesnt stop the diet
his liver begins to emit some enzymes that prove he has caused damage and that its failing to work
there are only 4 things on the whole american mcdonalds menu that dont contain sugar, there are something like 14 teaspoons of sugar in every large coke (so our supersize lol)
and on top of that they show you how mcdonalds make mc nuggets.
its just crazy how bad the food actually is for you! watch it, its madness

If you know all their meals contain sugar and a big coke contains so much sugar, why the fuck buy a coke ?
You can buy soda too at McDonalds.
You can get salads too there...
so if he wanted to prove a point you couldn't survive with mcD... No you can't if you're too foooking stupid, lol.
(I don't like McD by the way, but you can get half decent things there if you really want, lol)

Im backing McD's here.
Eating just one thing all the time for a month is goint to be bad for you, regardless. Eating fatty/junk food for a month and screwing up your health, WOW big deal, exactly who was unaware of this?
We'd be pretty sick if we lived on a diet of just bread and water too. Speaking of water, too much consumption can KILL you too.
Think im going to pop out for a fillet meal now

yeah but we all know fatty foods etc are bad for us, but the point being even the doctors were shocked at how bad the food was for him, and even in moderation its very very bad for you.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - A new review of three deaths of US military recruits highlights the dangers of drinking too much water.
The military has traditionally focused on the dangers associated with heat illness, which has killed a number of healthy, young enrollees, Colonel John W. Gardner of the Office of the Armed Forces Medical Examiner in Rockville, Maryland told Reuters Health. However, pushing the need to drink water too far can also have deadly consequences, he said.
"The risk has always been not drinking enough," Gardner said. "And then people who aren't medically attuned get overzealous," inducing recruits to drink amounts of water that endanger their health, he added.
"That's why we published this paper: to make it clear to people that overzealousness can be dangerous," Gardner explained.
In September 1999, a 19-year-old Air Force recruit collapsed during a 5.8-mile walk, with a body temperature of 108 degrees Fahrenheit. Doctors concluded he had died of both heat stroke and low blood sodium levels as a result of overhydration.
During January 2000, a 20-year-old trainee in the Army drank around 12 quarts of water during a 2- to 4-hour period while trying to produce a urine specimen for a drug test. She then experienced fecal incontinence, lost consciousness and became confused, then died from swelling in the brain and lungs as a result of low blood sodium.
In March 2001, a 19-year-old Marine died from drinking too much water after a 26-mile march, during which he carried a pack and gear weighing more than 90 pounds. Although he appeared fine during the beginning stages of the 8-hour walk, towards the end he began vomiting and appeared overly tired. He was then sent to the hospital, where he fell into a coma, developed brain swelling and died the next day. It is unclear how much water he drank during the march, but Marines were given a "constant emphasis" on drinking water before and during the activity, Gardner writes in the latest issue of Military Medicine.
In an interview with Reuters Health, Gardner explained that drinking too much water is dangerous because the body cannot excrete that much fluid. Excess water then goes to the bowel, which pulls salt into it from the body, diluting the concentration of salt in the tissues.
Changing the concentration of salt, in turn, causes a shifting of fluids within the body, which can then induce a swelling in the brain. The swollen organ will then press against the bones of the skull, and become damaged.
The researcher added that previous cases of water toxicity have been noted in athletes who consume excessive amounts in order to avoid heat stroke. In addition, certain psychiatric patients may drink too much water in an attempt to wash away their sins, or flush out poisons they believe have entered their bodies.
In 1998, the Army released fluid replacement guidelines, which recommend a certain intake of water but limit it to 1 to 1-1/2 quarts per hour and 12 quarts per day.
It takes a while for these guidelines to get "permeated out" to everybody, Gardner admitted. In the meantime, he suggested that bases take notice of the mistakes of others, and "not wait for somebody to die from (water toxicity) again," he said.
"You can't prevent everything bad from happening," Gardner noted. "But when it does, you have to learn from it."

I watched it and thought it was funny as fuck! ..
The guy is just trying to higlight, an allready well known a point that takeaway food isnt good for you!
Its trying to make people think a little more about their body before they go there!
I think in moderation takeaway food isnt going to do you any harm..
Just in vast quantities, with no excercise or other food at all then its quite plainly going to do you no good!

our digestive system as it is isnt set up 2 deal with dairy products, y do u think we have a apendix that we dont use cos thats used 2 digest plants etc but as u dont go round munchin on bits of leafs we dont need em.
the only reason mcy d's and other fast food places have put salads on there menu's is cos the media have gone ape about all the overweight ppl there are etc. in a way its good but whether they stick 2 it after it beocme old news is another story
