Consuming more than 20% of your daily calories by wolfing down quarter-pounders, pizza, and donuts risks depositing enough fat in your liver to damage it, stop it from its vital detoxification role, and eventually triggering the need for a liver transplant.

University of Southern California investigators studied liver fat measurements and dietary habits of about 4,000 US adults.  About 29% of the cohort clocked one-fifth or more of their daily calories by consuming fast food.  Only this group developed abnormal fatty liver deposits, and the association was not changed by excessive body weight or the development of diabetes.

Bottom line: moderate your trips to those drive-through windows and populate your diet with fish, fruit, vegetables, and healthy grains.

Warning you that this report is not suitable listening while you eat.  Assuming you’re prepared, let me tell you that engineers at Georgia Tech have developed an artificial intelligence-based “diarrhea detector.”  This device can be attached to public toilets and networked to feed data to public health officials.  When enough users of such facilities experience violently rapid bowel movements, there is an early warning that a dangerous and potentially deadly infectious gastrointestinal disease such as cholera may be spreading.  This type of AI detector uses sound spectral analysis and is also capable of detecting urination and yes flatulence or farts.
