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.
