The weight gain was a given since he increased his calories and the "food" reduced his energy level and he did less.
The issue is the liver damage.
People that gain weight don't necessarily have liver damage.
No doubt there was an effect on the liver. How could there not have been. Any diet that is exclusively heavy on the fat, salt and sugar will do this for the vast majority of the population...
So the McDonalds did cause the liver damage, if what you say is true.
Sure.
But unless he provides some evidence, we don't know if what he says is true.
Right now, all we have is the unsupported word of a person who resorts to mischaracterising the positions of others when politely asked to back up his claims.
Plus a shoddily performed experiment with a sample size of one; a number of variables; and no control, which was presented as a movie by Morgan Spurlock. That's not evidence; it's entertainment.
Supersize Me is evidence that McDonalds food is harmful in the same way that Terminator 2 - Judgement Day is evidence that Skynet is a risk to human life.
