Junk food has same impact as hepatitis?
Eating junk food regularly is not just bad for your waistline, it can also damage your liver in a way similar to hepatitis, a new study has found.
The results were revealed on the television programme, The Doctors, where it was found that even just a month of eating fast food can cause significant changes to the liver.
The study found regular consumption of fast food items like fried chicken and onion rings are particularly bad for liver, and have many surprising complications and dangers for the people that consume them.
“The amount of fat and saturated fats creates a condition called fatty liver,” Dr Drew Ordon of The Doctors. “We’re all guilty, and every now and then you have to splurge, but the problem is that so many people are getting into eating fast food, especially kids, as their staple, and I think that’s the point,” said Ordon.

‘Narcissists least likely to envy others’
Washington: Narcissists are least likely to feel envy of others because of their inflated sense of superiority, a new study has found.
Narcissism has long been associated with envy in the field of psychology, but an Iowa State study provides new evidence about that connection. “They really buy into their own fantasy,” Zlatan Krizan, assistant professor of psychology at Iowa State University, said.
“If you think you’re the greatest, it makes sense that you wouldn’t envy others because everybody is beneath you, so there’s nothing to envy. It is really the vulnerability that predicts envy and it predicts it very, very strongly,” Krizan said in a statement.
The study, published in the Journal of Personality, disputes existing theories that suggest envy is a core characteristic for those who are self-absorbed, arrogant and exploitive.
