"junk food kills" news and stories

Scott Martin, age 20, was killed by his diet of French fries, white toast and, on occasion, a tin of baked beans or spaghetti. He refused all fruits and vegetables. The young British man was stricken with cirrhosis and autoimmune hepatitis, caused by malnutrition brought on by an unhealthy diet. Both diseases destroyed his liver and his body's ability to stave off infection, ultimately resulting in his death. Scott was told that he needed a liver transplant last year, but was afraid of surgery and unwilling to change his diet. His family reported that Scott did not drink and that his preferred activity was watching Manchester United on television.

To make a gross understatement, this is a very sad story. I feel for the family of this young man. Wouldn't you change your diet if your life depended up on it?
