WASHINGTON: 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, 'cbsnews.com' reported. "The amount of fat and saturated fats creates a condition called fatty liver," Dr Drew Ordon of "The Doctors".
