Super Size Me
Slick Sammy "Spurlock" sipped six sodas and got sick, sick, sick.
In an effort to document the health effects of eating fast food, Michael Spurlock set out to eat only at McDonalds for 30 days.
NYP Online: ARCH ENEMY
Within a few days of beginning his drive-through diet, Spurlock, 33, was vomiting out the window of his car, and doctors who examined him were shocked at how rapidly Spurlock's entire body deteriorated. His liver became toxic, his cholesterol shot up from a low 165 to 230, his libido flagged and he suffered headaches and depression.
And if that wasn't bad enough, he put on 25 pounds. Wonder how long it took his body to recover.
