triangle Script 대본 Roteiro Texto

I knew if I was going to do this, I would need some serious medical supervision. So I enlisted the help of not one, but three doctors: a cardiologist, a gastroenterologist, and a general practitioner.

You're feeling quite well today?

Yes, quite well.

In general, any fatigue or weight loss, weight gain? Any change in your vision?

No fever? No earaches? No cough? No shortness of breath? No chest pain?

Are you taking any medications of any sort?

I don't. I've just been taking some vitamins.

Okay. Any food allergies or anything?

No.

Very good.

You're going to go downstairs to get your bloods drawn.

So the reason we have you fasting - the true cholesterol and glucose numbers fasting. So if you had like a bacon egg and cheese, your cholesterol would be way high. Or if you had like orange juice, your glucose would be really high.

Three down.

Your blood tests are excellent, okay. You're starting off with a cholesterol total cholesterol of 168, which is less than 200, and it's really superb.

Your blood level's fine. Your iron level is good as well.

You have no evidence of diabetes. Your fasting blood sugar is very low.

The other thing that we looked at were all your electrolytes. In terms of salts in your blood, your kidney function, your liver function, they were all perfect.

I expect to see an increase in your triglycerides because that will can be affected. You're at 87 now, and I think that will change. And I think that's the only thing that will change.

Out of everything?

Out of everything.

I mean, you know there might be some minor variations, but the body is extremely adaptable. And the kidneys will handle any extra salt that you're taking in. And your liver will be able to metabolize additional fats.

As far as you gaining weight, you probably will. As far as your cholesterol going up, it probably will. As far as you feeling miserable, maybe. I don't know. Unless you start cheating and just order the salads.


Oh, I feel horrible today. My headache's coming back again. It feels like somebody's yanking on the tendons behind my eyes. My body officially hates me.


150 over 90. The headaches might even be hypertensive headaches, but they're probably not. They're probably related to, you know, blood sugar. You might be in this hyperinsulinemic state. 150 over 110.

The total cholesterol is 165 before. Now it's 225.

A liver that's inflamed in any way or sick in any way will leak some of its enzymes out into the blood. So this is very non-specific, but it means that the liver is sick. And the most likely cause of your liver sickness is a fatty liver. Your liver is not like pate.

SGOT was originally 21.

Now it's 130.

And this GPT was originally uh 20, was 22.90. A more than 10-fold increase.

That's good?

Not good! Not good! not good!

Anybody would say right now that you're sick. You'll feel fatigued with this. You'll feel lethargic with this. You'll feel run down with this. You'll feel...

So if somebody were doing this to the liver with alcohol, they could theoretically wipe out the liver. You could wipe out all the liver cells, and they'd be in liver failure.

Now I've never heard of anybody doing this to their liver with a high fat diet, but I guess anything's possible. I don't know. I can't answer the question. It's never been done before. No one's ever wiped out the liver with a high fat diet before.

Wow. And I won't wipe out my liver in two more weeks?

I would think it'd be unlikely. I don't want to tell you (that) you wouldn't. I mean my advice to you is to tell you to stop doing what you're doing because it's hurting you. You're sick. You're sick, and you're making yourself sick. And you can make yourself unsick by stopping doing what you're doing.


After six months of deliberation, Judge Robert Sweet dismissed the lawsuit against Macdonald's. The big reason: the two girls failed to show that eating Macdonald's food was what caused their injuries.

Interesting. In only 30 days of eating nothing but Macdonald's, I gained 24 and a half pounds.

My liver turned to fat and my cholesterol shot up 65 points.

My body fat percentage went from 11 to 18 percent, still below the national average of 22 percent for men and 30 percent for women.

I nearly doubled my risk of coronary heart disease making myself twice as likely to have heart failure.

I felt depressed and exhausted most of the time. My mood swung on a dime, and my sex life was non-existent.

I craved this food more and more when I ate it. And I got massive headaches when I didn't.

In my final blood test, many of my body functions showed signs of improvement. But the doctors were less than optimistic.
