There was a documentary where a guy ate nothing but McDonalds for a period of time..i forget how long, but he would get regular blood works to see the effect and his doctor told him his liver function was so bad if he didnt stop he would die..lol..I think that was only after 30 days. It was called "Supersize Me" I think...

Yes I saw that documentary. He ate Mickey Ds at every meal (gross) and super sized everything when asked, which was often. Yes it was killing him. Hopefully most diets aren't that bad but fried foods aren't that great for us except for maybe some comfort.

I guess the fair food is out with chicken n waffles, fried twinkles and funnel cakes. Mmmm funnel cakes. :-P

refined sugar / high fructose corn syrup is worse

Most of ALL restaurant food is bad. They add more salt than we need. Fast food is so overly processed, that when it gets to such stages, we lose most of the food value.

I read somewhere, that the saltiest food is BREAD! Higher than chips.

Eating at home, and preparing our own meals from whole foods, is the healthiest choice.

Thanks for posting the article, Kramer. We need to be aware!

Great. Now I need a cook/maid.
My wife isnt gonna like this.

Let's all just build a rocket ship and go to the moon I mean it.

Joe, pan frying, sauteing, and stir fry, are all healthier methods than deep frying. And still healthier than eating out. I cook that way, too.

All I have read points to deep frying as the worst culprit. Massive amounts of fat at very high temperatures and usually higher amounts of salt and sugar.
Pan fry or saut seems to be much healthier
Google and learn.

Moderation. If overall we are conscious of diet, an occaissional indulgence won't kill us.
The stress of freaking out over diet isn't kind to our livers, either.
