TheEngineer, a study on medical students showed that excessive fructose consumption could result in a fatty liver in as little as six days, so I'm sure you're right. No doubt the results Morgan Spurlock experienced -- cirrhosis reminiscent of years of alcoholism -- after a mere month on the McDonalds-only diet is no doubt also illustrative of this phenomenon.

A few things that bothered me about Super Size Me.. First off, his diet prior to the McDonald's diet was so damn different.. Of course his body was going to go haywire. I have a cousin that used to literally LIVE off McDonald's and never had the issues Morgan did (I thought his name was something else.. but I digress). I mean, his girlfriend was a vegan cook for God sake! Secondly, he had too strict of a eating schedule. 3 times a day and HAVING to eat the Super Sized meal if asked about it. I wonder how many meals the average American eats.. I'm willing to bet not 3.

Thanks to TheViking88 for the sig!!

The point is that extreme amounts of sugar and fat can have dramatic effects in a short time. Imagine what damage years of excessive (though obviously lower) consumption can cause.

I personally think excessive sugar consumption is more dangerous than smoking.

Oh, I know and understand the point. It just bothered me because I know that a good majority of the viewers probably never thought of the points I brought up and formulate their opinion.

Funny you say that. Of the two people who have been verified to have lived to 122, both smoked. Except I say that with an asterisk. The dude quit smoking at 101 because at 101, he realized it was bad for him.

Excessive sugar consumption causes Type 2 Diabetes. Folks generally don't live into triple digits with Type 2 Diabetes. (My apologies to anyone who has it. I'm just stating the odds).

Smoking can cause lung cancer (but only about 10% of lung cancer cases are attributable to smoking!) . . . if you live long enough. Marijuana smoking doesn't even cause that -- it's been shown to have a protective effect against lung cancer!

Sugar causes Type II diabetes . . . obesity . . . gout . . . atherosclerosis . . . fatty liver disease . . . heart disease . . . and any of a number of hormonal problems.

Now tell me which one is worse.

Zero2Cool (7h) : QB coach Sean Mannion

Zero2Cool (7h) : DL Coach DeMarcus Covington

dfosterf (10h) : from ft Belvoir, Quantico and points south. Somber reminder of this tragedy at Reagan Nat Airport

dfosterf (10h) : So eerily quiet here in Alexandria. I live in the flight path of commercial craft coming from the south and west, plus the military craft

dfosterf (10h) : So eeri

Mucky Tundra (13h) : Now that's a thought, maybe they're looking at the college ranks? Maybe not head coaches but DC/assistant DCs with league experience?

beast (15h) : College Coaches wouldn't want that publicly, as it would hurt recruiting and they might not get the job.

beast (15h) : I thought they were supposed to publicly announce them, at least the NFL ones. Hafley was from college, so I believe different rules.

Mucky Tundra (15h) : Who knows who they're interviewing? I mean, nobody knew about Hafley and then out of nowhere he was hired

beast (18h) : I wonder what's taking so long with hiring a DL coach, 2 of the 3 known to interview have already been hired elsewhere.

Zero2Cool (27-Jan) : Packers coach Matt LaFleur hires Luke Getsy as senior assistant, extends Rich Bisaccia's deal

Zero2Cool (27-Jan) : Chiefs again huh? I guess another Super Bowl I'll be finding something else to do.

Mucky Tundra (27-Jan) : Chiefs Eagles...again...sigh

dfosterf (27-Jan) : Happy Birthday Dave!

Mucky Tundra (27-Jan) : happy birthday dhazer

TheKanataThrilla (26-Jan) : Exactly buck...Washington came up with the ball. It is just a shitty coincidence one week later

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : I forgot, they corrected the call a week later. Lol btw HAPPY BIRTHDAY dhazer!

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : That brings up the question, why wasn't Nixon down by contact? I think that was the point Kanata was making.

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : Turnovers rule, win the turnover battle, win the game.

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : well, he was

TheKanataThrilla (26-Jan) : Eagles down by contact on the fumble....fuck you NFL

Mucky Tundra (26-Jan) : I think this games over

beast (26-Jan) : Eagles sure get a lot of fumbles on kickoffs

Mucky Tundra (26-Jan) : This game looks too big for Washington

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : that being said, The Ravens are the Browns

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : Browns, Dolphins have longest AFC Championship droughts

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : As of today, Cowboys have longest NFC Championship drought,

beast (26-Jan) : Someone pointed out, with Raiders hiring Carroll, the division games between Carroll and Jim Harbaugh are back on (who can whine more games)

beast (26-Jan) : I'm confused, Pete Carroll and Brian Schottenheimer? When Todd Monken, Joe Brady, Kellen Moore, Kliff Kingsbury and Zac Robinson are availab

Zero2Cool (25-Jan) : Any reason I'm catching a shot here about my intelligence?

Martha Careful (25-Jan) : thank you Mucky for sticking up for me

Martha Careful (25-Jan) : some of those people are smarter than you zero. However Pete Carroll is not

Mucky Tundra (24-Jan) : Rude!

beast (24-Jan) : Martha? 😋

Zero2Cool (24-Jan) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.

dfosterf (24-Jan) : I'm going with a combination of the two.

beast (24-Jan) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.

beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you

wpr (22-Jan) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.
